"Many couples have noticed that when they have a day of closeness and peace, the next day is often a disaster. The ego merely is trying to recoup lost ground. We must learn to laugh gently at this. Our true relationship is a light that is replacing our separateness; and for a time, separateness seems to fight back. Egos clash. That's the nature of egos. Treat these outbursts as sneezing fits. More harm is done analyzing them. Our spiritual relationship, not ego business-as-usual, deserves our preoccupation. When someone sneezes, we say, 'God bless you.' We don't say, what exactly did you mean by that?"
