Building a relationship is like building a bridge. Sometimes the end result is not the same as you envisioned: a highway overpass where you dreamed of a New England covered bridge, a pedestrian footbridge where you wanted the Golden Gate. But whatever happens to the bridge in the end, the landscape is permanently changed by its construction, and even if it is washed out by flood there are likely to be broken beams and spars still standing.
