Conscious Monogamy vs. Open Relationships

"One thing about awakened monogamy: It makes possible the kind of relationship that can transcend relationship. Touching the One through the two. Freedom through intimacy. ⁣
⁣
Awakened monogamy is, in other words, a liberating bondage, a deeply joined freefall into what really matters. ⁣
⁣
Multiple-partnering is too wrapped up in the payoffs and juicy distractions of the shallow end of the pool to consistently generate the depth possible through awakened monogamy." ⁣

Having lived this over the past two years, Andrés and I can both tell you this is 100% the truth. ⁣
⁣
I honestly don't care what kind of relationship arrangement you have, but I stand by my firm belief that monogamy is the deepest form of spiritual partnership. ⁣
⁣
Many people exploring open relationships only do so as a band aid for fundamental problems in their primary partnership.⁣
⁣
I've seen it time and time again that when people open the relationship, it's the beginning of the end.⁣
⁣
Regardless of whether it works for those choosing it or not, you simply cannot have the depth with multiple people that you can have with one partner.⁣
⁣
Are you into depth or superficiality?⁣
⁣
There's no right or wrong, it just depends on what you want.⁣
⁣
If I knew that Andrés was sleeping with other people, I would NEVER be able to open fully to him, and vice versa.⁣
⁣
And the more you open, the more you allow your partner to see ALL OF YOU, and that's where the profound healing and connection takes place. That's where all of a sudden you catapult your evolution into realms you never knew existed.⁣
⁣
This is why we are advocates for conscious monogamy. ⁣
⁣
My work isn't for everyone, but if this speaks to you, let's reclaim monogamy as a spiritual vehicle for our highest evolution and teach others to do the same.⁣
