Quote from Love Between Equals

Love Between Equals: Relationship as a Spiritual Path 

by Polly Young-Eisendrath

Shambhala Publications, Boulder, Colorado, 2019       221 pages



The person of your dreams is the person of your dreams--and is not out there in the world. You need to know this well and deeply or you might try to mold your partner to become this dream person, and that will offend your partner--or worse yet, you will leave your partner and keep looking for that dream lover.

Being able to work with your own fantasies, needs, and even sexual or aggressive arousal, within a thoughtful commitment to another person, is first and foremost a spiritual practice. All religions teach the importance of becoming aware of your motivations and intentions first, and then to express and to act as you sincerely intend.  (p. 71)
