Just to challenge you--and myself--a little bit, my dear Anima, let me put before you a contemplative nugget that emotional intelligence is something worth factoring into the equation, especially for fellows like you and me, who are skilled in the craft of language and concepts, but are still learning to play the strings of the heartspace, which requires an intelligent finesse that surpasses our scholarly knowledge. 
Love, my brothah!  |

For those seeking spiritual partners of their calibre...
Of what possible use would that be? How would that help you grow?
Better to have a totally non-spiritual one and watch him/her smash our Equanimity to bits and then laugh at ourselves.

I've watched more than one person come to know themselves on a deeper and more intimate level through a divorce, so, wouldn't necessarily say that a relationship that ended in divorce is less beneficial than a relationship that didn't. Definitely a difficult road to travel though I imagine.
Love,

Good point. I was married, and the best thing my wife ever did for me was leave me. Woke me right up! A splash of cold water to the face, and then boom!--I shifted gears and started to get my act together. Thankfully, we are still on good terms and can speak, hug, reminisce, etc.
The road is crooked. The path is winding. The spiral melts the boundaries of logic and well-laid plans.

Divorce is like any other bump on the road , it is an eye opener if we are willing to see and learn
i was just saying that deep down we all long for an easier road to travel
but it will happen as it is meant to happen
