You can work on your relationship all that you want, but it is usually your relationship that is working on YOU.
Relationships are a spiritual journey. If you are serious about finding spiritual freedom and self-empowerment, you will truly value your intimacy: No one points out your weaknesses better than your partner.
Look at a love relationship as a way to open your heart. Go after the person you love. Do not wait for them to come to you. You will lose control, not be able to play it safe, nor able to manipulate the relationship. You will discover your own depth and true empowerment.
Everything is a choice. The purpose of any unpleasant experience is to help you define more clearly what you want and value and the next experience will be better.
Truth is love, love is truth.
Practice honest and direct communication with your partner or when dating.
Healthy relationships start with yourself. Nothing comes uninvited and it is unrealistic to expect anyone else to treat you better than you treat yourself.
What you focus on expands. If you want more love in your life, make a commitment to increase your capacity to give and receive love with everyone who comes on your path.
Love is not related to interpersonal need, which is actually the saboteur of love. Don't look to your partner to supply you with what you need to be happy, healthy and fulfilled. Your needs are met in your own consciousness.
Yes is good, no is good too. Practice total acceptance of yourself and others. Let go of outcome and be concerned with harmony. Don't grab nor push away.
Let go of the need to be right. The ego can cause great pain and trouble, therefore the relationship offers the motivation to seek beyond the ego. In other words there is greater harmony in wanting what life wants, rather than wanting what you want.
Relationships are an opportunity to express masculine and feminine essence. For the relationship to be passionate you need to honor your own essence, masculine or feminine.
Gratitude. Nothing new can come into your life, unless you are grateful for what you have. A good relationship is a joint participation in the best of life.
