Relationships are in great need of healing. I have found A Course in Miracles of great help in this healing process.
Here is what I have learned as main points when things go wrong and there is conflict and with it the loss of peace and love.
1. I feel that I need to be a special way to suit the other.
2. The other needs to be a special way to suit me.
3. I am using the relationship for my own needs and my own purpose instead of surrendering it to the Holy Spirit to use it His way for the good of all.
4. I do not see the other with the eyes of Christ but with the eyes of the ego. That is, I judge everybody from a personal and limited standpoint.
5. Once I am prepared to give instead of to get, things change rapidly.
6. I have to have an honest and trusting relationship with myself. Hiding things from myself and judging myself brings fear of self and therefore also fear of others.
7. If I practice first of all to relate to the Holy Spirit, the Voice for God in me, everything else just falls harmoniously into place. I See the Holiness in Myself and My Brother.
I accept the happiness of seeing innocence… I joyfully see the eternal Light in my brother and myself…
I see the world through happy eyes.
(From course 905, Pathways of Light)
And last, how I perceive the other is only a mirror how I am feeling within myself. When I am filled with love for God, I can only love my brothers. When I am filled with doubts and insecurities, I project this unto others.
