Have You Outgrown Your Partner? - The Love Alchemists

Admitting when we are no longer compatible with our partners can be one of the most painful processes in our lives, but it can lead to a whole new period of regeneration for both of you. We are constantly developing as human beings, but does this mean that we deserve the chance to spread our wings if our partner is holding us back? This week, Paul is joined by Bas and Priska, otherwise known as The Love Alchemists, who are here to discuss this fascinating, if sometimes painful topic   KEY TAKEAWAYS Women are generally the ones who grow and develop faster than their partners, often feeling the need to progress when something feels imbalanced in the relationship. In general, women tend to take a more aerial view of life, looking for the connections in a more comprehensive way, whereas men tend to be more “ground-level”, taking each challenge as it comes. Love comes in many forms. If we can separate romantic love with primal love, then we can recognise that love may exist even when romance is gone. There are three elements to a relationship: the partners themselves, but also the relationship itself, which needs constant nourishment. Interdependence upon another human being is what makes life worth living. Trust and love lead to enrichment and development. BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s more about the energy than the gender’ ‘You can still love someone even though that glue is weakening’ ‘We grow apart because we forget to nourish the “third identity” in the relationship’ ’No matter how much work we’ve done, first and foremost we are human beings' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life   The Love Alchemists - https://thelovealchemists.com ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977: “Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules.  You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!” Paul has a long and distinguished history of coaching & mentoring – particularly focusing on helping people make the transition from pain to purpose; a journey he has made himself, from the depths of a deep dark existence, to now living a life of happiness and prosperity. Through this Mastering The Game Of Life podcast, and books he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising. “Remember – Mastering The Game Of Life Starts, By Embracing Our Hearts!” CONTACT METHOD Tel: +44 (0) 115 7270101 E-mail: [email protected] Twitter: https://twitter.com/IAMPaulLowe Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IamPaulLowe/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-d-lowe-7a78332a/
