A Partnership Among Equals
What true love is- two whole, happy and fulfilled people coming together to continue to grow individually and as a couple. And in doing so, their relationship has a positive influence on the world.
What true love is not – a solution to all your problems or unresolved issues.
Remember, you attract from where you are. So if you think meeting Mr. Right is going to save you from your unhappy life, what will happen is that you will attract someone who also has a lot of problems to help you bring out your own issues for healing. This relationship may work out, but often it is recipe for heartbreak.
A true love relationship enhances your life not saves it. It supports and strengthens both of you as individuals and does not attempt to control the other person. It allows you to develop your talents and creates the space for freedom of individual expression in a partnership.
Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith and Rickie Byers Beckwith are two excellent role models for a true love relationship. He was living his life purpose and founded Agape International Spiritual Center where he met Rickie. She is a musician and she formed the Agape International Choir. Their relationship enhances their unique life purpose and together they have a created a community which helps thousands of people in the world.
Drs. Ron and Mary Hulnick President and Vice President of the University of Santa Monica are another example of a true love relationship. They met as psychology college professors. Together they developed the curriculum for the University of Santa Monica, and teach the first Master’s Degree program in Spiritual Psychology. They have also helped thousands of people heal deep wounds and find their life purpose.
