Romantic Relationships Are Our Teachers

All relationships bring us lessons, challenges and give us an opportunity for growth. However, romantic relationships are the most special. We are drawn to the relationships for specific reasons. The lessons that we needed to learn unfolded just as they should have. God/Universe brought exactly who we needed at the time to evolve to a higher consciousness.

Love relationships bring things up that need to be healed in our psyche.The reason for this is that God is giving you an opportuntiy to heal those parts in you that need to be healed. It is amazing how everything seems to be synchronized perfectly in order for you meet the person that will bring up exactly what you need to heal.

If you are finding that the same kind of person keeps coming into your life, the Universe is telling you that you did not learn the lesson the first time. You will continue to attract this kind of person into your life until you get the lesson. Romantic relationships are our teachers. Sometimes they are very painful relationships, but if you look carefully, you will find a lesson in each of them. Whether it was for you to learn to stand up for yourself, improve your self-esteem, get a better idea on what kind of person you will be happy with, etc., they each had something to teach you.

My recommendation is that if you have not yet met your life partner, you spend some time working on yourself before you become exclusive with anyone else. If you have not done the work the next person is going to be just like the last person. In the beginning it all looks so perfect. The illusion is an important part because it will get you to want to pursue this person. Everything is set up in order for you to learn the lesson. Once the timing is right, all of the same issues you have not healed from the past will emerge again.

"Love brings up everything unlike itself to be healed. You might find that old issues, fears, and discomforts are stirred up like clouds of dust when you clean the attic." - Marci Shimoff

"Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." - Rumi, thirteenth- century Sufi poet
