Personal Relationship Advice: The Love Relationship

Since all men are social creatures, personal relationship advice, the love relationship, is essential for you to live the good life. What it means to be a human being is found only in the expression of the interaction of at least two people. In reality, you as an individual actually comes to know and to understand yourself only as you see yourself reflected in the lives of other people. The reflections that come back to you from the people with whom you are interacting are the sole basis for your sense of identity.  A personal relationship, a love relationship, is essential for your well-being.

With your personal identity at stake, personal relationship advice, the love relationship, is of the utmost importance if the good life is to be experienced. Unfortunately, most men consistently fail to experience the relationship of love that gives them their sense of wholesomeness. Unless your relationship get past the basic pleasure and utility needs, you will never experience the acceptance, the approval, and the affection you so desperately desires.  A personal relationship, a relationship of love, is the only means whereby you can experience the joy of living.

Beyond the limits of personal pleasure and personal usefulness, the personal relationship, the love relationship, thrives upon making sure the needs of others are not neglected. The loving person never puts himself first in the interaction of love, never claiming his own share of things when it would deprive the needs of others.  When it comes to the scheme of experiencing life, restraints against personal gain are always exercised. Although all natural relationships are entered into so that the individual can enhance his own self, the supernatural personal relationship, the love relationship, exists solely for the enhancement of others.

There has been only one person who has totally refused to use others for any personal enhancement. Jesus of Nazareth, the incarnate Son of God, was taken continually to the end of Himself for the benefit of others. He knew the mystery of life, the mystery of the true personal relationship, the love relationship--experiencing death to live.

The good news is that every man can now experience the personal relationship, the love relationship.  In Jesus Christ, all men can experience this magnificence obsession of love. A miraculous event can occur in anyone's life that will take him/her to the place of supernatural love. A completely new way of speaking, a new way of seeing, and a new way of thinking can occur in your life. You can be saved from the limits of using others for personal pleasure and personal usefulness.  You can be taken to the place of a personal relationship that has as it core the existence of the love of God.

It is not that most men do not perceive the need for others. They do. Most men see others, however, only as a means to their end. Without the revelation of Jesus Christ, the ultimate expression of love, man will always use others to meet his perceived needs. Although he may not openly abuse others, he simply does not understand that the good life he desires to experience can only be found in, not by, others.  Again, the ultimate personal relationship advice, the love relationship, can be found only in others.

The good life of the personal relationship, the love relationship, is experienced only when a distinct individual has the essence of his being in, at least, one other person and in Love.  The personal relationship advice, the love relationship, simply declares the good life is always defined in the light of others. It is always experienced in the art of love.
