Love relationships change everything in the world because, thankfully, all that is true is connected in love<\/em>. That\u2019s possible because you\u2019re nonphysical. Once you see the connectedness in all that is real or true, you may perceive how your thoughts, beliefs and actions impact all that is. In that alone, you can receive an experience that the ego continuously searches for but never finds \u2013 evidence of your unlimited power, evidence that you are love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power of Love to Change Your Life<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You have the power to change your life and impact the people around you. Even more, your love relationships may yield greater results than you imagine. Also, these love relationships<\/a> include romantic relationships, colleague relationships, family relationships and friendships. They also include people you try to avoid or deem unworthy of your kindness, love and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it’s easy to only consider romantic relationships when you think about love relationships that you nurture and invest in. Here\u2019s the thing. If you\u2019re following a decades-old romantic relationship path, you might be searching for someone you deem to be \u201cspecial\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means that you don\u2019t think about getting closer with family, friends, colleagues, neighbors and anyone else in communication, social engagements, challenging discussions and fun in ways that forces you to reexamine old beliefs you may have held onto for far too long. You\u2019re just on a hunt for this \u201cspecial\u201d person. In fact, you might have already created this \u201cspecial\u201d person in your imagination, going so far as to give this person a height, weight, smile, personality, job and financial makeup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exciting New Love Relationships<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Good news is that you could meet someone who seemingly fits the bill of the “idol” that you created. Even better, the start of this \u201clove\u201d relationship could charge you with feelings of excitement, aliveness, fun, safety, peace and acceptance. Right off the dribble, you might even decide that this \u201cspecial\u201d person is worth sacrificing for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signs that you\u2019ve made this judgment (or decision) include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Sacrificing or reducing the time you spend with family and friends<\/li>
  • Participating in sex acts you don\u2019t enjoy in effort to make this \u201cspecial\u201d person happy<\/li>
  • Visiting places (e.g. golf course, spa, mall, worship centers) that you have no interest in or don\u2019t believe in \u2013 again, all for the person you<\/u> judged or decided <\/em>is \u201cspecial\u201d<\/li>
  • Investing money in the \u201cspecial\u201d person (again, this is someone who you decided is \u201cspecial\u201d)<\/li>
  • Preaching to yourself that what the \u201cspecial\u201d person wants is more important than what you want<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Also, you might think that God will be especially pleased with you if you sacrifice for the \u201cspecial\u201d person. Clearly, you would have set yourself up for an impossible task. Why? Admittedly, it may take time in the relationship or several experiences you have with this person. But eventually you\u2019re going to see that not only is this person not \u201cspecial\u201d \u2013 if you\u2019re fortunate, you\u2019ll also see that there are no \u201cspecial\u201d people anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Don\u2019t Give Up On Healthy Love Relationships<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Don\u2019t give up. Despite the temptation, don\u2019t toss in the towel on the relationship if it\u2019s healthy. This means, there\u2019s no physical, verbal, financial or emotional violence in the relationship. A key reason not to give up on the relationship is the fact that, if you do quit on the relationship, you will likely merely start searching for another \u201cspecial\u201d person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But remember that there are no \u201cspecial\u201d people. So, if you sever the relationship, the best you could do is find another illusion<\/em> of a \u201cspecial\u201d person. And it may be at the point of discontent (when you realize that the person isn\u2019t \u201cspecial\u201d) that your love relationship could truly change for the better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is when the love relationship could really deepen, helping both your partner and you to awaken more and more to real love, truth, peace and joy. Furthermore, it\u2019s at these levels in a love relationship where your relationship could start to change the world. And again, this can be done with relatives, friends, neighbors, colleagues, spouses or anyone. You just have to decide to only love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    True Love Changes World<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Keep in mind all that is true is connected. Can you see how entering into real love, a love that transcends the body, could have a profound impact? For starters, you\u2019d not only be teaching and learning patience. You\u2019d be teaching and learning the value<\/em> of patience (not tolerance \u2013 patience<\/em>). Because you have to be patient with yourself to stick with and learn these new love lessons. And, you certainly have to be patient with yourself long enough to see real love work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Choose and practice only love and you\u2019d be teaching and learning trust, honesty, freedom and the fact that what you really are (far more than a body) can never be hurt. And, you\u2019d be teaching and learning that joining in love, even as it regards communication, with another offers rewards that keeping separate from others never will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You might not notice it at first. But you\u2019d also come to see that you\u2019re lovable as others return love to you. After all, if you\u2019re being loved, you have to be lovable. Another benefit is that you\u2019d see that you can and do love. Watch what happens then. Love relationships, including the love relationship that you have with yourself, really do change the world. But first you have to commit to love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
