Trying to change your partner is not Honoring

This is about MeYou can’t change your partner. Your Focal Point is your
own spiritual path not on your partner or your relationship, but your highest self

Relationships as Spiritual PracticeSpirituality is not more and more principles you learn; it
is a quality you gradually achieve, the person you become, connecting to the deepest level of self by the actions that you choose to do.

Verbal Communication: Often ineffective or worse
Most of our habits involve destructive communication, most of us lack skill
It is easier to get off center while communicating verbally and to be misinterpreted. Motivation often is to change the spouse, ineffective & disrespectful.

The Power of One: Homework
• One person can change the relationship• Choose a specific, concrete action or behavior
that you could do, for a certain time period, with out telling your spouse, that would be loving and positive for your spouse.
• Try the experiment for your spiritual growth and out of good will.
• See if you change internally and if anything changes in the relationship.

Loving ActionsTo live in accord with spiritual values is to live by
choice and awareness rather than always to be in reaction to the people around you

Deepening ConnectionThe more you are motivated by your most inner
stirrings, the more you become your most authentic self,… the more you will be able to connect with your spouse at a deep level.

Loving: Our Spiritual PathThe teachers we need most are the people we’re
living with now. Our spouses, parents, and children are the clearest masters we could hope for. Again and again they will show us the truth we don’t want to see, until we see it.
