Intimate Relationships and Practical Spirituality
by Susan Kramer
Stan and I are currently celebrating 20 years of relationship, which has
inspired me to write these reflections:
Practical spirituality is living a normal life for the highest good, and
this includes relationships, in particular our intimate relationships.
If we are at first drawn together by physical attraction, we can over
time, if we choose, grow to care about and want the best for each other. In
this way our loving expressions take first place over lust.
Growth in the joy of
spirituality comes by acting for the greater good in each situation.
We feel uplifted, elated, and full of peace when we act for what is best
in personal relationships, and with all people.
Loving
intimate relationships make a house a home.
The bare essentials of each come
together, and we combine the best qualities to make our shared life most
fulfilling, just as we make a house a home by adding our own special touches.
If we are truly seeking to
consciously reunite with our Creator-Sustainer, we will do what is for the best
in our relationships and all aspects of living. In this way we draw closer to experiencing
the fullness of God right in the moment.
Giving
our best to life
Gives us our best experience of life.
