Partnership means that you come along side and "hook up" (not in a naughty way!) and do what they (or God) says to do. Basically the jist is that you connect with someone, you are two people heading in one direction. You do this together. It's when one person thinks they know more, or their opinions or goals matter more so you try to force the other person to go YOUR way. It's a visual message....it creates tension, struggle....if you have these in your life....check your partnership. It's clearly a message designed to tell us to follow God but really it's a good message to hear and put into your own life.
It seems everyone wants to be in a partnership with another person. It's something some people can't live without. But is it the right partnership? Is it being with someone just so you don't have to be alone or is it waiting and finding the "right" person to spend your days with? What if you never find that person? What if you never have that ying to your yang? Do you fill that need in another way? Are you able to or is it only through a partnership that you get those needs met?
Partnership is more than just having that one other person in your life. It's more than finding that one person you feel like you that you count on, that you connect with, that you choose to spend your time. That person you can let see you with all your walls down. There's something about having another person you know deeply that you can talk to without really using words. I think we all need to have a person who knows our heart, who can sit with you and just "be". Is it possible to know people so well that you don't even need to say a word?
It's about the connection one person makes with another deep in their soul....I think sometimes you can be in love with and spend your time with someone but they may not be your "soul mate". I think they are two different things. If you're lucky, I think they can be the same person but mostly I think they are different people. Does everyone get to have a soul mate?
Is it the goal in life to be in a relationship of some type? I am always amazed at how quickly some people fall into relationships...how quickly two complete strangers can be totally emeshed in one anothers lives. How fast you go from just knowing someone to all of a sudden knowing their heart and wanting nothing more than just being with that person all of the time.
Sometimes you find someone that you develop deep feelings for such as friendship, love, compatibility, not just romantic love and they play an important emotional role in your life. Souls come together because we have somehow attracted them into our life. These are people you meet along your life journey that are in your life to help you create balance. Usually the connection forms quickly. For me, this is someone I need to be in connection with several times a day and it's a connection I have like no others in my life.
Friends are important and essential in our lives but a soul mate or a partner is different. It's a different level. Friends fit into our lifestyle but a soul mate is someone you know on a different level. Once you connect with them the communication and connection is unmatched by anyone else around you. It's not the same as a romantic connection and I would argue it's even more important.
Can we live our life without a soul mate?
