If you'd like, you can imagine
the relationship like a stream, a behavioral stream
so to speak. And like a stream, in its early phases,
it is a mere trickle. Something that can easily be
dammed up or disrupted by something as small as a
pebble.
However, over the course of
time, as the relational history deepens, the stream
is able to endure, tolerate, and survive larger disruptions.
It gets to a point where the stream is so wide and
strong that a boulder can be tossed into it and, although
there may be a disruption on the surface, the stream
is able to accept and embrace this apparent intrusion....
as it sinks in and settles down deeper.
