Love Compatibility Key Factor “R” = Religiosity — including Spirituality & Faith

Clarification: Whatever that means to you – God, source, being, the universe – that is exactly what this message means for you.  Read it in your own context and take in the message as it is individually tailored to you.

So how does religiosity, spirituality, and faith affect your romantic relationship? For that answer, let’s go to a quote by Gary Zukav on Spiritual Partnership:

“… The new female and the new male are partners on a journey of spiritual growth.  They want to make the journey.  Their love and trust keep them together.  Their intuition guides them. They consult with each other. They are friends. They laugh a lot. They are equals.  That is what a spiritual partnership is: a partnership between equals for the purpose of spiritual growth. ”

That pretty much says it all.  When you are the best person that you can be – when you live in awe – when you express gratitude for the wonders in the world, you enter into a relationship on a higher plane of consciousness.

Key Questions

• Do you enjoy being with people who support one another and care for their community?
• Do you know the Source of Love?
• Do you know how to heal your life?
• Do you know how to deepen the meaning of your life?
• Do both your heart and your mind willingly receive the world’s blessings?
• Can you find serenity in yourself ?
• Can you find serenity in your relationship?

What Role?

Is religiosity and spirituality a core value for you? Only you can decide where it fits in your life at this point in time.  Is it sometimes difficult to fully understand how to integrate religiosity and spirituality into your life?  Rest assured that you are not alone.  Many of us struggle with this on a daily basis.  All I can say is keep at it – things will be revealed in their own time.

Religiosity and spirituality can be a key component in a healthy relationship. How you view the Source, how you view yourself, and how you view your love — these are all parts of this larger concept.

To What Extent?

To what extent does religiosity and spiritualty exist in your relationship now?  How do you demonstrate it?  Do both of you regularly exhibit it?  To the same degree?

Within love compatibility factor R, you can begin to identify where religiosty and spirituality is being practiced now.  It enables your relationship to grow more compassionate as it is experienced and relied upon.

Next Steps

If you agree that religiosity and spirituality is a good thing, then how can you increase its presence in your life?  In your relationship?  How can you begin to broaden and deepen it?

Focus on a few areas where religiosity and spirituality are important to you and your relationship. Then make a plan to purposely practice it together for a more loving , open, and conscious relationship.

If you are not currently in a relationship – assess your own views toward religiosity and spirituality and screen potential dates, keeping love compatibility factor R  in mind.
