If you are in a relationship because you are scared to be alone, because you thought you better settle, or because it makes for a lifestyle you want, then you are not valuing the relationship but what it gives you. An authentic relationship means valuing the opportunity to grow and learn and value each other. Do you have another tip for keeping relationships authentic and connected? Share below.
If it works for you! A lot of us are. Perhaps related to cultivating boundaries, and giving and receiving in balance, is making space for choice. Recognizing who is choosing what and when.
Many of us have trauma impeding our access and understanding of our own choice. This is hard deep work to uncover our choices, contact them, and build the muscles to voice them.
This can prevent us from connecting authentically with another when we are not accessing our own choice. We can fall into depending on others to choose for us, or we can stay guarded from another to avoid choosing…..

If this applies to you, you may want to consider seeking professional advice from a registered migration agent on whether you are in a position to lodge a partner visa application and how you can overcome the shortcomings in your evidence.
For many offshore and some onshore applicants, the Australian partner and the visa applicant may have to endure significant periods living apart from each other.
If this applies to you, you and your partner must present evidence to show that your relationship has continued despite the temporarily period s of separation.
Genuineness of your relationship may be questioned if the authorities are not satisfied that your relationship has continued to satisfy the legislative requirements while the both of you were physically apart. Proving that these periods of living apart are temporary is key. For some, it may mean showing that they have continued keeping in contact every other day, showing evidence of how they have kept in contact and the contents of their conversations.
For others who do not have the habit of keeping in touch while temporarily apart or have evidence proving this, it may pose as a roadblock to convincing the authorities that your relationship has continued despite the two of you living apart. At the end of the day, every couple has their unique story to tell.
Whilst the legislative criteria are set in stone, they do not and cannot define the circumstances of every kind of relationship. How your story fits in the legislative criteria will differ from couple to couple, and the onus is on you as the applicant to show to the Department that you do satisfy these criteria. When in doubt, seek professional advice from a registered migration agent or lawyer with recent experience in obtaining partner visas grants for applicants from your country of origin.

Skilled Work Regional Visas. Prospective Marriage Visa. Offshore Partner Visa. Onshore Partner Visa. This has become the norm so much so that it is not a point of discussion anymore. Everyone, even the mothers have hundreds of people following them on Instagram and Twitter. Even your grandparents have learned how to use Facebook. With all these advancements, it only seems natural that we keep even our most personal of relationships displayed on the internet.
However, there is something we need to think about. Technology has advanced a great deal in an effort to bring humans beings closer to each other and at times it succeeds. INZ address this problem by issuing visitor visas. These allow couples to live together for a longer time. The fact that a couple did not live together before marriage should not exclude them from partnership-based residence visas.
Many of these couples are just as genuine and stable as couples who live together prior to marriage. INZ should be able to recognise couples who, because of their culture, tradition, or religion, do not live together before marriage.
It should be equipped to recognise non-traditional partnerships. The case involved a New Zealand citizen whose husband applied for a residence visa based on their partnership. During their three years of marriage, she gave birth to two children.
The Supreme Court disagreed and ruled that although the marriage may not have been ideal, it bore the hallmarks of a genuine and stable relationship. They lived together and shared childcare obligations and financial responsibilities. The Court quashed the decision of INZ and allowed the appeal of the plaintiff. The decision of the Supreme Court introduced another way in which genuine and stable relationships can be assessed.
This can include the time they have spent together, the way they communicated with each other, the authenticity of their marriage certificate, photographs, bank statements, remittances and so on.
