The Spiritual Message of Failed Relationships
In my line of work, as a spiritual adviser, I find so many people complaining about their “string of failed relationships.” They complain about this as if it is something wrong, something that is wrong with them, or something that could be avoided if only they made better choices. This isn’t the case. You are SUPPOSED to have a string of failed relationships that lead to whomever you are ultimately supposed to be with. If they weren’t failed relationships, you would still be in them. Which would mean you would be unavailable for the relationship(s) you are meant to experience in the future.
Life isn’t about the destination, it is about the journey. You likely have heard this saying before, but this time I want you to contemplate it. Consider it, hold it, understand it. Really grasp what it means, all of the implications expressed in such a simple statement. Enjoy each relationship for what it is. Learn what you should, teach what you can, and have fun! And when it is over, be grateful for the time you had and the lessons exchanged in the process.
Please share a link to this post with others, I believe it contains a simple yet powerful message!

I found a quote a few years ago that really helped me. I would like to share it with you;
“Life is a series of lessons. The more I aligned with knowing that I was being given gifts to grow from-the less I believed that the purpose of life was to punish me-the easier life became.”
I did not write down who said that so cannot give proper credit. I keep this posted on my mirror in my bathroom so I remind myself of it daily.
Thank you
I appreciate you sharing this quote! I am sure many people can find comfort in it. Blessings to you and yours!
This is very well said. Even though it really is a drag to have to go through so many horrible relationships, I do agree with you on one thing….that you should learn what you can from each one. And also I think that what you can learn from each relationship will help you as a person in the long run. But remember…don’t make the new person pay for what the past has done.
Your article is well needed and should be well recieved. Being in the Crone stage of my life and having lost 2 partners/husbands to the underworld; I questioned my Karma and my path in depth. When I did get up again (and again), I found that there were lessons learned which brought me to and prepared me for the next stage of my life journey.
Unfortunately, I do believe that one only grows from negative change. The spiritual warrior always is fighting for spiritual elightenment. It is recieved, just not when you want it to but when you have learned the lesson handed to you.
Are these failed relationships? No, but they ended and one without any warning. I still stood beside you and had to realize that what didn’t kill me did make me stronger but more importantly, made me harder to kill.
After 3 years now of ‘trying on’ new short termed relationships and having them fail, I realized that what I needed to fix/find was within. I needed to become the spiritual warrior again. I am now grateful and therefore, my gift was given. His name is Jimmy and he has loved me for years. It took my hard and painful lessons (didn’t call them lessons (grrrrr…)during the re-awakening) to make me humbley ask for help to crawl out of my hole and see that there was one now beside me instead of behind me.
Life is always about balance. Feel your expierences, no matter how painful or lost they seem; for there is a growing lesson to be learned which will make you wiser. When you are ready, take the wisdom and be grateful and you will move on to another.
