Monogamy, Marriage, Fate, Karma & Soul Mates – Love is Forever, But Most Relationships Aren’t

It's rare that people have such good relationship karma 

that they truly (without any self-deception) have a solid, 

happy, fulfilling, compatible, monogamous, life-long 

relationship.

Yes, there are many couples who stay together for years 

and years, but that doesn't mean the relationship is or has 

always been compatible or harmonious. It's very common 

for couples to stay together and turn into roommates with 

wedding rings because they fear being alone, having less 

money, or for other reasons.

Love is forever, but most relationships are not. By this 

we mean that love is the glue that draws people together 

again and again throughout lifetimes. Couples usually 

meet again primarily, from a spiritual perspective, for 

learning lessons and personal growth instead of just for 

romance and companionship. When those lessons are 

fulfilled, it may be time to move on.

However, in our society, great emphasis is placed upon 

relationship longevity. A relationship or marriage is 

considered to have "failed" if it didn't last a lifetime. 

This way of thinking not only sets everyone up for 

disappointment, but is unrealistic.

Nobody expects their first job out of high school or 

college to last forever, or that every friendship will 

never end, and dropping such expectations for love 

relationships is wise, in our opinion. Everyone changes 

and grows at different rates and has different lessons to 

learn. You can't cast someone for a relationship theatrical 

production and expect them to fit comfortably into that 

role for a lifetime.

Sometimes people are meant to be single for a while for

some reason other than it just being about bad relationship

karma.

Your life circumstances are reflected in your numerological

and astrological timing, which is different for everyone.

Sometimes you'll have rewarding love timing, meaning more

fulfilling and compatible relationships, and sometimes you

won't, and some people have much more of it than others

throughout their lives. If you don't like the way things

are going now, they'll eventually change. If you are curious

about when your love timing will get better, comprehensive

numerology and astrology offer tremendous insight.

Our unique delineation and prediction work tell us that 

relationships, and how long they last, are destined. We're 

referring to the energy between two people that makes 

them fascinated with one another and when the appeal 

(sexual and otherwise) is still there months and years 

later, as it was in the initial stages of the connection,

not the type of relationship where two people know that it's 

"over," but stay together anyway.

Therefore, it's best to try to let go of expectations for 

"permanence" when becoming involved in a relationship and

just accept the situation for what and how long it is meant

to be. This doesn't mean you shouldn't try to work out

problems (since working out problems is a major reason why

you're together in the first place), just that it's better

to go with the flow.

What about some "experts" telling you that you can have a

life-long relationship and that all you have to do is keep

it "new" and "fresh?" Yes, perhaps some of these techniques

can help renew an already relatively strong connection, but

they won't revive something that's dead or inspire what was

never there in the first place.

It may be difficult, but try to be grateful for the time 

you've spent with compatible matches in the past, what you've

learned from the more challenging relationships you've had,

and perhaps most important, the benefits of alone time when

you're not in a relationship. Expressing gratitude has a

magical way of helping to let go of the past and welcoming

more positive experiences into the present.
