The actress disclosed her belief on why relationships don't work for some couples.
"I believe one of the reasons why most relationships don't work is because people come into them with unresolved trauma & unprocessed pain from childhood. When two wounded souls come together, no matter how great things are at the beginning, they will end up unconsciously projecting their traumas and pain onto each other if neither of them does the inner work to heal."
Maxene advised her followers to try out what she calls "conscious coupling."
She wrote in her Instagram post, "This is where conscious coupling comes in. Instead of just dating & courting each other at the beginning of a relationship, I highly recommend having a very honest conversation about your intentions as to why you want to have a relationship in the first place. Get real and vulnerable by discussing things like your past traumas, mistakes, and heartaches. Things that trigger you. Your fears and uncertainties."
Maxene added why conversations that are honest and raw with your significant other are essential to make it last.
"It's nice to have fun & lighthearted conversations, especially at the start of a relationship but I believe what will truly make it last is when we can just be completely honest with each other and have deep and meaningful conversations--especially the uncomfortable ones. This will help you determine whether or not you want to continue with the relationship and if you think it will work. This will save you time and unnecessary pain."
Maxene also disclosed how people who are in a healthy relationship, in an unhappy relationship, and those who are single can start a healthy discussion with their partners and with themselves.
"If you are currently in a happy & stable relationship, I encourage you to constantly ask each other how you feel and hold space for each other with no judgment. Spend quality time and be present. Cry about your worries & fears and then laugh about them together, too.
"If you are in an unhappy relationship, it's best to have an honest, heart-to-heart conversation and ask yourselves if it is worth holding on to something that isn't making your soul smile anymore or if it's better to just gracefully & lovingly let go so that both of you can move on to the things that are truly meant for you.
"If you are single, focus on working on yourself and embody the traits that you want in a partner. Heal so that you can be a better human. Offer your healing to God and He will bring you in alignment with your soulmate.
Lastly, Maxene wrote in her caption her advice, "Never chase. Attract."
