Do you have the expectation that you will receive unconditional love from a partner?
Most of us would love the experience of being loved unconditionally by someone. This is the experience we needed when we were growing up, but most parents are not connected enough with themselves and their spiritual guidance to be able to offer this.
Is it realistic now to expect it from a partner?
Love, by my definition, is that which is unconditional – i.e. there are no conditions under which it does not exist. In my experience, this is what God is, and when we are very open, we can invite the love-that-is-God into our heart.
