Relationships

Relationships are the most important parts of our lives. We have relationships with our lover, family, post man, cashier at the grocery store, colleges, neighbors, business associates, the waiter, everywhere.

The longer we have these relationships the greater their quality rises; hence, the standards of the relationship will also grow.  Many think, especially in romantic relationships, that after they are confirmed as a couple, the 'work' ends.  Standards, values, the little things can be forgotten.  It is an all goes-free-for-all hoopla.  Many even turn into games, manipulations, lies and so on to maintain a pseudo connection, for superficial reasons. These reasons are always far from the purpose of the heart.

In reality, the higher the level of the bond shared, the higher the standards of the relationship. There IS work; but this is the type of work that feels effortless.  Relationships that work work because there is no work.  For all effort put forth is out of a desire, a want a will...the type of feeling where one doesn't want to go to bed, for they do not want to miss those 6-8 hours out of the relationship, of the time and connection to be spent in this sacred bond.

The quality of a relationship is to be, and to become, the higher the standards to what the people involved are held to, and are to live up to.
