Long-term relationships have many benefits. One of the best of those benefits is that they tend to destroy any illusion one has about one’s own unique power to heal or change another person. People can and do change, and sometimes they change with the help of a partner. But ultimately, all growth and change is an act of individual will. You can’t love an alcoholic into sobriety, or a sex addict into fidelity, or an anorexic into healthy eating. No human love is strong enough to conquer another’s addiction or to heal the hurt of a terrible past. That kind of healing is an inside job, though others may help; the only love I’ve found that has that kind of capacity to heal is not a mother’s or a lover’s but that of God Herself. Too often, we give ourselves far too little credit for our own ability to change — and we give ourselves far too much credit for our ability to change others.
