I was curious to understand from all you lovely people who feel like sharing, how you feel the new model or template for relationship in intimate partnerships is evolving? Are we moving from the idea of marriage to one partner as a monogamous , till death do you part deal, as in traditional marriage fading away or evolving into a polyamorous union of more than one partner or do you feel that perhaps with this ascension it is that we are becoming more exclusive to being with only one partner , the ONE partner or Twin flame/soul mate idea? there is allot of diverse thinking out there on this subject and I am curious what the rest of us are thinking and feeling?

I am finding that no matter by what name or template a relationship embodies, if it is without integrity on both sides, it simply cannot stand. i for one have been having radical shifts in relationships and in how i view them and what I desire for myself. what about you?

    Most certainly I am questioning my belief system about relationships. There is a bigger question that the one you ask, which in my mind remains the 800 pound gorilla in the room that everyone is ignoring.

    Namely, how do you make sure that you are on the same page as your potential partners from the beginning? I would seem to me that if there were any reliable way to measure this then all other questions would simply fall away.

    all the literature and my favorite book on the subject is " twin souls" a guide to finding your true spritiual partner") conveys the idea that indeed we separated from our twin at some point during our evolution and for our evolution. we may travel in pods of " soulmates " but only one soul complements us ultimately. this is indeed quite an elevated idea.. there is the idea that most relationships our for our karmic growth and balancing.. when we are done growing or begin to stagnate its time to move on. i beleive in the concept that the closer we are to " actualization " the closer we will be to finding our true counterpart. ive observed many newage/new thought individuals attempting to embrace the idea of polyamorous relationships only to enter into disillusionment.. those who have high sensory perception may also see the complicated energy dynamics that manifest from such complicated dynamics.

      I consider monogamy, a creation of a controlling traditional society, to be out of vogue thereby making polyamory, the natural order of mankind, the favored new direction in our quest for freedom.

        I find if I follow my heart and inner wisdom I am exactly where I am and it is perfect, there is no other way. If another aspect of US in a physical body is traveling to the same star and at similar pace then WE enjoy the ride two-ge(a)ther. We do not have to worry about the other's inner aspects, only our own. We ALL have our unique and magnificent relationship with God and it is perfect. If you are at harmony when you are with another then this is divine; harmony is harmony. If you are both seeking truth from the same ship then oh WHAT a blessing!

        Labels and titles such as twin-flames, etc. are dualistic playgrounds and only create circles inside of boxes. Live through the heart and truth is known. If I find myself asking powerful questions such as those concerning a partner to share this dream with; I "feel" for the answers, logic does not know the language of mystery.

        Humbly,
        Rich
