Spiritual Partnerships...

Namaste!

I have lately been thinking about my partnership with my husband and wondering if it is possible to be with someone for a lifetime, spiritually growing and developing together as a couple but also individually. My husband follows a Pagan belief and I follow.... an Eclectic belief system :) We do talk about our spiritual selves occasionally but not as often as I would like. And we dont really share our religions much, other than having a similar view on life. I have my daily spiritual connection and creative outlets, and he goes about his life living by the Pagan ways etc. He practices his beliefs with the way he lives his life, the way he deals with people, his morals and ethics etc, which is fine for both of us and is something I highly admire about him.

But there are times where I wish we could share and develop more spiritually as a couple. Sometimes I feel as though my beliefs and energies are constantly changing with the more I learn and grow, whilst he is happy staying where he is. And although I am very compassionate and understand that he is on his own divine journey, learning and growing at his own pace, I do find it frustrating at times. I think this is because he sometimes misunderstands my ways of thinking about life.

I do know that it may be hard to actually find someone who has a similar spiritual interest as myself, and who will also develop and grow with me at the same pace. In fact this may be highly improbable for most couples. It really is unrealistic of me to expect that of my husband now that I think about it lol.

One huge lesson that this relationship is teaching me is respect, patience and understanding. We all develop spiritually at different speeds and are at different stages of our journey.

I am just grateful that I have found someone who is spiritually awakened who I can share my life with. Afterall, I dont think that Quantum Physics and Universal Laws would be high on the conversation list for most unawakened people. My partner in life would always have to be a special soul to handle a woman like me I think. Hehe.

I once had a short relationship with a very spiritual man, something I had always dreamed of. But that dream turned out to be an unhappy reality. All he seemed to do was eat, sleep and meditate. He never left the house or connected with other people. I soon realised that wasnt for me. There is so much more to life and spiritual development that sitting inside a pyramid all day, that was his journey, not mine.

In saying all that, I also dont believe that a relationship/marriage must last a lifetime. We should never feel pressured to be together just because of a piece of paper or ring. I believe that a couple should stay together as long as you are both happy and for as long as your journey is together.

My husband may not be perfect, but he does bring much needed balance to my life. I am always free to be myself and never have to hide anything. He listens to my ramblings about spirit and is always supportive. And for that I will always be eternally grateful.

Love, light and spirit xx.
