Studying higher ideas about love and relationships -- without doing the work it takes to put them into practice -- is like gathering kernels of wheat, laying them in a row on some back shelf in your cupboard -- and hoping they will produce an abundant harvest right where they sit. No seeds can prove themselves more valuable than the sweat it takes to sow them into the ground, including watchi...

All of our relationships, in particular the one we have with those we love, exist for a dual purpose, along with its great promise: first, most of us understand that our partner in life is there to help us grow, to awaken and stir in us, accordingly, an awareness of love's highest possibilities.
