Life and Family
Ray and Sarah Karam together have 5 children, 4 gold fish and a dog.
The beginnings of Sarah and Ray’s relationship were unique. It started as a friendship, catching up to support each other as single parents who were both working a lot. Sarah was raising two boys and Ray had three children, two daughters and a son.

When it became clear that there was something more there, it was already fully felt what was constellating – that their families were coming together. Their first ‘date’ was a trip to have fish and chips by the river with all their children as well. It was a natural impulse when Ray took Sarah’s hand as they walked from the cars (there were so many of them they didn’t fit in the one car at that stage!). “The kids turned to us with knowing smiles, as if to say ‘we already knew this was going to happen – what took you so long’, there was no dynamics with the family coming together. At that moment it was clear that nothing could get in the way of what was there.”
Right from the start there was no ‘your kids’ and ‘my kids’, we were one family. We didn’t have any issues with each other about that and so neither did the kids. Things moved fast and they were soon moving in together. However, it was not in the rush of a whirlwind romance but rather in the steady knowing that this was right. So why wait? |
“It was as if effort would have had to be made to not move in together. Things were moving in a direction that was needed so to stop that wouldn’t have made sense.”
To this day as long as we have stayed to what is true between us everything around us has been taken care of and flows. The only time there are issues are if we let something between us. And if there is something there, we look at it and we heal it.
My relationship with Sarah feels both as fresh and as deep as it was then, because it was all there from that first moment. It felt like I had known her for a very long time even when I had only been with her for five minutes. Every day is a dedication to deepening the connection between us.
