Learning To Dance

Each stage of a relationship is like a dance. Learning the steps for it is the determining element of ease.

The dance of becoming your partner’s divine lover may look like this:

•You run into resistance

•Both talk about your feelings and what you see

•Pause, reflect and get help

•Heal and let go of the competing agenda if you are willing and able

•Love deeper

•Create deeper trust and container

•Run into more resistance

•Bring patience leading to deeper love

Honor each other for your willingness to engage in such a vulnerable and risky dance. Differentiate between the value of your partner's essential energy and your enjoyment of the specific dance you are doing. The dance can and will change but your partner is eternal.

Action: Have a conversation with your partner about how you want to handle the different stages of the dance that show up in your deepening relationship. Appreciate that each step helps move you forward in your cycle of knowing one another. In time you may want to refine some of the steps and explore other moves in order to receive their gifts.
