Life works most perfectly when a reciprocal love relationship is in place between man and God.
The basic problem with my love relationships with women is that my standards are so high - and they apply equally to both of us.

The purpose of a relationship is to decide what part of yourself you'd like to see 'show up', not what part of another you can capture and hold.
The proof of the depth and embodiment of your realization will be seen in your love relationship. That's where the proof is in the pudding. If it all collapses in your relationship, you have some work to do. And people do have a lot of difficulties in their relationships.
A relationship isn't going to make me survive. It's the cherry on top.
