It is my experience that all individuals have, to varying degrees an empty place within. One of the most difficult things in marriage is the extent to which the relationship evokes “the empty” within each of the partners. In fact, assessing the degree to which this is the case in any given marriage is one way of describing the extent of the functionality of a marriage. Intervening with this process, and learning to come into a “mutual quality of presence” that counteracts it, is one of the central challenges, and most important goals of a healing marriage.
