It seems that most love relationships become love / hate relationships. Love can then turn into savage attack, feelings of hostility, or complete withdrawal of affection at the flick of a switch. This is considered normal. These polarities are mutually interdependent, both are different aspects of the same dysfunction. The opportunity that is concealed within every crisis does not manifest until all the facts of any given situation are acknowledged and fully accepted. As long as you deny them, you will remain trapped inside that situation, which will remain the same or deteriorate further. Next time your relationship is not working with the one you love, be glad. What was unconscious is being brought up to the light, it is an opportunity for salvation. In every moment, hold the knowing of your inner state: if there is anger, know that there is anger; if there is jealousy, know there is jealousy. Do not be afraid to communicate what you know with the one you love. From this point, love will become your spiritual practice.
