CELEBRATING OUR EVER GROWING CLOSE LOVE RELATIONSHIP
I am amazed and delighted with our ever increasing understanding and closeness that naturally blesses both of us as our Love grows day by day
What a delight it is to be here on this morning of grey clouds and gently falling rain.
After a couple of weeks of working everyday, we are taking this day off from projects, work and service to simply be together and enjoy each other’s company.
I am celebrating one of the greatest blessings of my life today, for which I regard myself as the most fortunate man in the universe…and that is that I am privileged to be sharing daily life with all its challenges and blessings with Ani in ever growing and deepening Love relationship.
THE DIVINE PURPOSE OF RELATIONSHIPS
I have known for most of my life that the divine purpose for our relationships, especially with our very closest heart beloveds, is to be a space for learning how to truly love another person and our own selves.
Our relationships are a vital and important part of our own and our partner’s spiritual path that is absolutely necessary… for relationships are the very best space for learning all the lessons that real, growing Love has to teach.
Being in relationship with Ani with this awareness means that my priority focus must always be on fully participating in and taking good care of our relationship as I learn how to love her as she needs to be loved.
Learning how to love means learning how to unselfishly focus on really listening and hearing her, on developing our heart to heart communication and being constantly aware of what I need to be doing to actively care for her. My job is to be there for her in ways that are nurturing and supportive so that she knows I am engaged in loving her as well as I can, and that her happiness and welfare matter to me.
REAL LOVE IS ALL ABOUT REALLY LOVING, CARING and GIVING
Unfortunately, most of us believe that in relationships its all about getting our needs met in exchange for meeting the partner’s needs in a kind of business deal. It’s all about “me”and “my”…which equates to a very small, fragile and conditional kind of “love.”
This is one of the reasons for our tragically high divorce rate.
I know that if we all understood the real purpose of close love relationships, and consciously laid the foundations for it by establishing a close love relationship with our own self and with the Divine first…
and then took the time to become good friends first with a potential partner, out of mutual attraction and desire to explore the possibilities before mutually choosing to embark on the sea of Love in your relation-ship…
then, the relationship would not only endure but keep on growing as your Love transformed, healed and empowered both of you.
THERE ARE NO LIMITS ON REAL LOVE
There is no limit on how much your Love can grow if you are both focused on learning how to love each other unconditionally.
A great Love relationship is the perfect space for learning how to give Love, to be Loving, to become a force of Love, to opening your heart to express your true nature which is, always has been and always will be pure unconditional Love.
THERE IS NO HAPPILY EVER AFTER…Great Love Relationships Require A Lot Of Work, Patience and Understanding of How Relationships Work
I don’t want to make this sound easy to do in real life.
Hey, we all love the feelings and excitement of “falling in love.”
If this happens with your destined beloved and your self, then this is the beautiful beginning of your journey together as it grows into a long term daily life relationship. This is the time for ever deepening bonding, which grows over time as the real reason for being together becomes clear.
After this “honey moon” phase, it is important to know that the real work of a great Love relationship begins…
A basic understanding is that “a real growing Love relationship will bring up everything unlike itself to be healed.”
Great relationships are never static for they are always growing and expanding as your Love grows.
LOVE IS THE BEST MEDICINE FOR HEALING OUR DEEP WOUNDS
This Love is the best medicine for healing the deep wounds and negative emotional patterns that we all have…and this real Love will bring these wounds and patterns up so that healing can take place.
But it is not a simple or easy process because when painful wounds from the past are being brought up, our minds make it look as if our partner is making us feel this pain and who is seen as being the cause of it in the present…even though the painful wound may come from our childhood and not your present situation at all.
I Celebrate Being With A Partner Who Matches Me At Every Level Of Life
All of this is why I am celebrating being with Ani, who does match me at every level of life, love and spiritual path, who is as dedicated as I am, who works just as hard as I do to develop our communications, and to work our process when “all that is not Love is coming up to be healed” even when it is very, very hard to do.
We have had many intense conflicts arising out of old wounds being triggered by present circumstances, but we have finally learned how to use conflict constructively to learn lessons and make changes that must be learned and made so we can keep growing.
Everything worth having in life requires tremendous work and both the desire and the willingness to do whatever is required to keep on moving forward and upwards.
I consider myself among the most fortunate men on earth because I am with a great partner who wants and is capable to keep on growing our great Love together, no matter what comes up. In our life together, we seek to let Love find and make the way forward, which gives our life together meaning, purpose and sweetness.
A PROFOUND and BEAUTIFUL LOVE SONG FOR YOU!
The lyrics to this song express perfectly what I am sharing in this story! To have a great relationship that grows and blossoms you must be ready, willing and able to be 100 % committed to working things through and never give up when the going gets rough and things get tough and overwhelming as they certainly will do sometimes when you are sharing this journey of life with your heart’s beloved, All the great things to those who are devoted and refuse to give up when its hard but choose instead to LET LOVE MAKE A WAY!
