Knowing your life purpose creates more intimate, fulfilling, and balanced relationships. This is true if you are already in a committed relationship and if you are single (or single again) and are planning to be in a relationship.

Life purpose answers the questions of, Who am I?, and, Why am I here?. This knowledge and insight creates a firm foundation for you to build your life on.

This is much like the foundation of a house. When a house is built on a solid foundation, the house stands solid, withstanding numerous conditions.

When you know your life purpose you know what you value, you know what is important, and therefore, what isnt important as well. You have far fewer power struggles, less room for dependency, and when you and your life-partner both know your corresponding life purpose, the relationship becomes a very sacred space that supports both of you in your life journey.

If you are single, knowing your life purpose is one the most important elements in making effective relationship choices. You will want someone who fits into your purpose, and who can support and understand it.

Likewise, it is wise to be with someone who has a life purpose of their own. In knowing your life purpose you define yourself through it, rather than through the relationship or through the other person. You know who you are, where you are going, what is important, and what you are looking for.

Without knowing your life purpose you have a higher likelihood of choosing out of fear and dependency, and thereby, settling for a relationship that is not in your best interest.

Knowing your life purpose may be the most powerful element in creating and continuing in healthy and sustaining relationships...Life Purpose: dont leave home (or enter relationships) without it!!
