What is the purpose of all relationships?

All relationships are mirrors. They reflect back to us in a myriad of facets how we relate to ourself and our world at a specific moment in time. Sometimes it is hard to accept this fully, but once we do, we can actually have a lot of fun with this. What we least like about others are the aspects that we have least accepted within ourself. And what we like most about others are the aspects that we would like to grow further within ourself. The more we accept and love ourself, the less we will be affected by the behaviour of others.

We attract people as mirrors to help us remember self-love and acceptance but also to bring unresolved issues and fears in us to the surface. For example: As a highly sensitive child I experienced my fathers verbal anger outbursts as a physical threat and still had been afraid of "making people angry with me" until only recently. When I noticed that I had become somewhat afraid of the husband of a close friend I realised that he matched the energy that my father carried when I was a child. They even share the same name. I then saw that his wife also had a very similar energy to my mother.

I found this quite funny. Although my parents live in a different country and I we share a loving friendship,  I had managed to "manifest my parents" and recreate my childhood fears right at my doorstep to help me address an issue that was still holding me back in my life. Looking out for the mirrors around us will grow our understanding of ourself and foster increasing acceptance. We can then choose to consciously feel and release any fears and replace it with new empowering beliefs.

When it comes to love - I am a hopeless romantic. However, I believe that the ultimate purpose of any relationship is solely to help us grow and evolve as human being on all levels: mentally, emotionally and spiritually. 

But there is still plenty of scope for romance. In a relationship with our twinsoul we will not only help eachother grow in magic and uniquely complementary ways, but we will also learn to open to ever higher levels of love with eachother in a romantic, truly intimate and deeply fulfilling way.

With love and highest regards,

Susanne
