Building a solid foundation is important to the integrity of the whole. Foundations are vital for many things in life; houses, health, businesses, personal growth, and relationships. Just as a builder knows you can’t erect walls without having a foundation in place, or a business owner knows that you can’t go out and purchase equipment without a business plan written up; relationships can’t be developed without a solid, carefully built foundation.

A solid relationship cannot be built without each individual having built their own solid foundation, comfortable with who they are. Depending upon someone else for happiness doesn’t work. Relationships need to be built brick by brick and the more secure we are as individuals, the easier it is to build a foundation together. Fears, insecurities and pain from the past can cause an unstable base upon which to form a relationship.

Solidly built stone foundations “stand the test of time”, we can see them everywhere, the structures may be gone; neglected, abandonded, or burned, yet the foundation still stands.
