If You Love Something Set It Free

How does the saying, "If you love something set it free, if it's meant for you, it will come back to you, if not, it was never meant to be" related to marriage and relationships-whether you have been together two years or 20 years?Partners are meant to evolve and access the highest parts within themselves. You cannot do that if you are in an unhealthy relationship, or are unhealthy yourself and unwilling to seek help.Healing occurs in the present. Our pain is not coming from the love we didn't receive in the past, but from the love, we are giving ourselves in the present.A relationship is not meant for two unhealthy people to stay stuck and stagnate. A relationship is not intended to be the joining at the hip of 2 emotionally invalids without the potential for growth within.The purpose of a relationship is not for two incomplete people to become one and stay that way.A relationship is meant for two people to come together, grow together, heal together, and to keep evolving.When physical proximity no longer supports the highest level of growth, teaching, and learning, a physical separation will happen.If one person stops growing, healing, and trying, the relationship must and will cease. If it doesn't cease to exist when toxic, no one will grow or heal. In turn, each person will live within anger, resentment, stagnation, and this is when we begin to develop disease within the body physically, mentally, and emotionally.You must not be afraid to let the one you love go. For if you are meant to be together, nothing will stop that from happening. Your love will stand the test as long as growth happens outside the relationship, and you both can come back together, healthily and respectfully.
