Unconscious Uncoupling

When I painted this, I called it The Couple. Conscious Uncoupling wasn’t a thing then, otherwise I could have painted them looking over each other’s shoulder at their cell phone and called it Unconscious Uncoupling.

I’m going with that anyway, Conscious Uncoupling being the ability to understand that every irritation and argument within a relationship was a signal to look inside ourselves. And a term invented by a breakup guru – that by choosing to handle your uncoupling in a conscious way, regardless of what’s happening with your spouse, you’ll see that although it looks like everything’s coming apart; it’s actually all coming back together. More info: Conscious Uncoupling: 5 Steps to Living Happily Even After
