We see celebrities in and out of relationships and we are fascinated with the activity. The news of new romance, lavish weddings and crash and burn splits grace the cover of almost every magazine that faces us at the check-out stand.
But are relationships meant to be forever?
Take the recent split of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. In J-Lo’s upcoming Vanity Fair interview she said “Sometimes it doesn’t work—and that’s sad. But I remain an eternal optimist about love. I believe in love…”
Should we see relationships as failures when they end?
From a metaphysical perspective our intimate relationships are the number one place that we work on our life lessons, and our life lessons contain the how, why and what of what we are here to do. If we want to be empowered, we may unconsciously manifest a relationship in which we need to fight to be heard, or to be seen. If we want to value ourselves, we may unconsciously manifest a relationship where cheating or some form of diminishment is involved so that we can get to a place where we stand up for ourselves.
