1- Be yourself and honour your partner's right to do the same.2- Don't expect your partner to act or be a certain way.
3- Try to avoid wants, needs, and jealousies; they weaken the bond of love.
4- At all times, try to be honest and truthful with your partner.
5- Do your best to create an atmosphere where feelings are shared openly and without fear of retribution.
6- Take full responsibility for your actions; resolve, forgive, and heal each other's hurts without delay.
7- Nurture communication at the soul level; intimacy creates lasting oneness.
8- From time to time, ask one another, "How are we doing?" Then discuss it openly and at length.
9- Try not to limit or control your partner; you do not own one another.
10- Your partner should be your best friend. If not, something is out of balance.
11- Use sexuality to celebrate your love, not to satisfy your basic desires.
12- Ask Spirit to bless your union with unconditional love, patience, tolerance, and understanding in place of ego and fear.
If, for some reason, you and your partner should go your separate ways, do so with unconditional love for one another. Realize that each of your life plans brought the two of you together in order to learn and grow from the union. When that purpose has been honoured and served, and no further soul-growth from the relationship is possible, the parting must occur. Then, bless your former partner and realize that the two of you did your best to help one another on the journey towards Oneness.
