Relationship Tips

We must come from a place of
love when we marry.
For this other person is not a god or a goddess; not an angel.
We human beings are not perfect.
We may be impatient, get angry, be petty, jealous and fearful;
we are infinitely hungry for love.
We may be incapable of love.
We are divided within ourselves.

We think thoughts we tell
ourselves we must not think;
we feel emotions that we judge
wrong or inappropriate;
we utter words that we do not intend. We have unrealistic expectations - for
ourselves and those we marry.

So we must come from a place
of love, the only place where our
beloved’s imperfections are not used
to build a case against him or her,
but rather are seen as loveable
aspects to be appreciated as evidence of their
humanness -- signs of their fears and longings that mirror our own.
