SEX ARE SPIRITUAL OPPORTUNITIES, NOT AN EXCHANGE OF NECESSITY
Many of us have the wrong idea that the purpose of a relationship is just to satisfy our needs and fulfill our desires in some way.
This transaction-based model of relationships is why so many of them look empty and humiliated because there is nothing real and intimate about them. Relationships are a spiritual opportunity for personal evolution. There is no better chance to discover your capacity for love, forgiveness, compassion, complete self-expression and personal greatness.
Nowhere else will you face the limitations you’ve imposed on yourself in the realm of intimacy.
Nowhere else can you forgive so deeply or love so purely.
This is the true purpose of a relationship – to serve the mutual personal growth and the complete manifestation of each person.
This is a chance to share your enthusiasm for being alive and to give to someone else.
Relationships provide an opportunity to illuminate a part of yourself that has long been obscured by fear and sorrow; to contemplate the greatness of another person so that you may enter the splendor of his, as well as your own soul.
In this way, relationship becomes the greatest tool for personal development and spiritual growth.
