According to A Course in Miracles, Love is the CONTENT of all relationships. The form may change, but the content does not.
Love isn't about romance . . . or sex . . . or possession. LOVE is about wanting for others what you want for yourself . . . PEACE.
I not-so-jokingly say that getting divorced was the best thing Renfrew and I did for our relationship. It is true. While we 'loved' each other, the form and function of marriage had stopped working for us. I had turned into a nagging shrew and he had closed himself off into a passive aggressive non-participant. At some point in the process of divorce, I stopped wanting to control the outcome and sincerely prayed for both of us to be HEALED of our pain. It worked (at least it did as far as I am concerned). I began to look at Renfrew with softer eyes and saw the pain we were causing each other. I finally let go . . . .
It is trusting that a step taken with LOVE will get you where you need to be, even though that may not be where you think you want to be.
Namaste.
Love doesn't always mean you like them. A very heart-filled post. Stopping by on the a to z challenge.
