Romantic Relationships ~ The Greatest Arena for Spiritual & Emotional Growth

The title of this book: Romantic Relationships ~ The Greatest Arena for Spiritual & Emotional Growth - is a Truth that it is vital to recognize if you ever want to have a functional romantic relationship. We were set up to fail in romantic relationships by the dysfunctional perspectives and expectations of love and romance we learned growing up, according to the author. Robert Burney is a counselor, Spiritual Teacher and pioneer in the area of codependency recovery / inner child healing.  Here is what he has to say about this book.

We were set up to feel like failures in romantic relationships by the dysfunctional perspectives and expectations of love and romance we learned growing up. There is no happily-ever-after that we can reach when we find our prince or princess. As an adult you obviously know that intellectually - but emotionally you are still looking for it because it is what we were taught as children, it is part of the foundation programming that determines how we relate to life. On some level you are probably judging your self because you haven't reached happily-ever-after.

As I state on my website in the section on Romantic Relationships, "The thing that is so important about the issue of Romantic Relationships is to realize how we were set up to "fail" in romance - to really get it on a gut level, so that we can forgive ourselves." It is very important to start realizing how we were set up, so that we can change our attitudes, definitions, and expectations of romantic relationships into ones that are more functional - into ones that can help us start to learning how to approach love and romance in healthier ways.

Once we start letting go of feeling responsible for something we were powerless over, letting go of the false guilt and toxic shame about our "mistakes" and "failures" in romance - then we can start to learn how to take healthy risks and make better choices. It is better to love and lose then never love - but we need to change what we are expecting from love and romance in order to even have a chance of being able to start learning how to have an interdependent relationship that can work for us.

I have published this book as two e-books of 20 chapters each.  This second ebook, Deeper Within (emotionally) & Further Out (metaphysically) ~ From Fear of Intimacy to Twin Souls, however has 50,000 more words than the first one.  The material from both e-books is combined in a Trade Paperback book that I published in September 2012. 

It is very much worth it to learn to love - and reading this e-book could be a huge step in helping you to become capable of having a romantic relationship.
