  • Why do some people stay in a relationship? People stay because they are in love obviously - but sometimes people stay because it’s convenient and they don’t want to waste the time they’ve already spent with that person. But is this really what makes you stay?
    In this episode of On Purpose, we get to listen to Jay’s conversation with Lewis Howe where they talk about whether someone can stay in a relationship with someone for a very long time.

    Remove sex, money and children..... if you can still be together, love each other and have some things in common without those, that means you have a real authentic true connection! The rest are just extra perks that makes things fun! 😉😉😉

    You can never know another person - all people help you with their strengths and hurt you with their weaknesses.
    True love is unconditional love. Unconditional love is real but rare. True love is self love - love from outside yourself is BONUS LOVE! You don’t find love, you create love!

    My bf and I have conversations on every topic. We are both planners by nature and prefer full transparency. He recently shared that a few nights ago he was in the middle of his evening prayer and began crying tears of joy. He proceeded to list all the things he is receiving from me and our relationship and what warmed my heart the most is when he said peace. I give him peace. We are both faith filled and I responded that God will see us through this and everything happening within this relationship is all blessings from His plan. Obviously, it's a daily decision we make to ensure others respect our relationship. So I'm enjoying your conversation on various topics. Thank you both and keep moving forward.

    Don't leave it to discussing your relationship ONCE a year! We have a weekly heart-to-heart-session - it seems like real work, which it is! But so worth it! We've only met in our early seventies, and believe in this practise so deeply.
    The scheme: each one gets 30 minutes to talk about what he/she feels about the relaionship over the last 7 days (the listening partner is just listening, never commenting yet). Then it's " open commenting and discussion with open end".
    So honest, conscious, connecting - simply so worth engaging in it regularly.
    Try it with commitment - and you'll be reconnecting and nourishing your relationship.
    It has become such an enriching habit we intend never to give up as it is so rewarding.

    “I’ve learned so much more being committed to one person than I think I would have being single for the last 10 years” I always had destination addiction, happiness is always in the next relationship, next job, next location and I finally decided to commit to a relationship for 3 years and the deep connection, growth and intimacy that brought even though it didn’t work out is something I will always be grateful for and we got to carry it into a beautiful friendship. Also I’m with someone now who even when it is hard or frustrating I just want to heal and repair it with him and rarely if ever find myself thinking it would be better with someone else.

    I was married happily for 50 years with the same person. We had to change and understand that we were different people as we grew up and had our children. We had to find each other again and fall in love all over again but with the same person. We had arguments and had difference of opinion but we worked things out.
    He sadly died when he was 71 and now I’m seeing a person who we love spending time together going out but nothing too heavy we are spiritually aligned but not a full relationship

  • @tianiemitchell5692
    @tianiemitchell5692 Год назад +38

    Yes. It is possible to have a long relationship with one person but it takes those two people to make it With Honor, respect, maturity, caring for the other as much as you care for yourself compassion, open-mindedness and expressing their passion to each other whenever possible.

    • @tianiemitchell5692
      @tianiemitchell5692 Год назад +4

      I think it's important for people to express their feelings towards the other even if it is more than just a hug or kiss or the words I love you or any positive words that uplift your partner. Or giving them a thoughtful type of gift that is personal to them that you know that they like like, if it's mountain biking , a weekend at a crazy which they could do that. Or a new bike or something that's for their bike or clothing for them to wear while they're biking excetera but something thoughtful and personal for them that shows that you pay attention, that their needs are important to you. When you love someone you encourage the things that make them happy because when they're happy you are also happy what is that phrase their happiness is your happiness

    Loved listening to you both. My marriage broke up after 24 yrs with a very messy & painful ending
    Looking back I see my mistakes. I thought I could hold it together for both of us. Earlier we were mutually invested but for the latter years I knew my husband was not invested. It takes 2 wills. Mistake number 2 was that I didn't really hear him when he wanted out. I kept trying to convince him to stay. This destroyed my self esteem & really was not respectful to me or him.
    In the end he totally sabotaged & killed our relationship so repair was not possible.
    It really hurt & created more trauma to add too my childhood wounds of feeling unlovable & wanting my partner to heal with me. Here are my realisations 4 years later
    Self respect & integrity are key to everything
    Self love includes ALL parts of myself lovable or not lovable. I bring love & compassion to all parts but do my best to ACT from my most enlighten self
    Wound healing takes time
    Now I see that my husband was not as committed to openess & growth. He was spilling out his pain. That's where he was. I took it instead of setting boundaries so self betrayal.
    Now I catch this in myself & am true to myself even if I may loose someone as a result
    Those that stay stay because we are committed to growing together
    Dating I'm very fussy. If I don't see we have potential for depth & integrity it's not for me
    Meanwhile I have created a new & peaceful life. I'm building work that is fulfilling & heart centered helping others with their healing & spiritual journey.
    I hope to write a book with the keys to wellness. That's still to come
    My relationship with my grown up children has become healthier & deeper & I know my X & I are both commited to them.
    I surround myself with loving supportive friends
    I don't find myself fighting because there is so much more clarity & service to love. We can find our way without a fight. If a misunderstanding occurs there is quick repair so toxicity is very reduced.
    All in all I'm so grateful for what I've learned from challenging or beautiful experiences in life & so grateful for these enlightening podcasts
    Still have work to do overcoming my limited beliefs but now love & compassion leads the way not self hate

    Hands down one of my favorite podcasts / vidoes on right now. I’ve gotten so much out of it, I’ve watched a couple times in pieces and shared with everyone. I love how natural it is and the advice is amazing.
    It’s nice to get both ends of opinions / life experience too - he’s married for 10 years and you’re newly in a relationship so it’s cool to see the pros and “ cons “ of each.

    My ex-husband and I are very different. We divorced and never stayed apart. After 18 months, we are back together and have the plan to get married again. For sure, we are the love of each others lives, but we have had difficulties and hope we can learn techniques to address differences in a better way. I work hard on myself and meditate a lot, which I find extremely helpful

    It is truly amazing that two men can actually be so self aware and have this amazing conversation about their love life! I am so grateful that you have this podcast and willingness to share and be vulnerable! I so agree that being in therapy first is such a rich idea shows that you are committed to yourself about being on the right path. It’s a time saver. So many truths being said tonight such as living your own life and then sharing life. You can’t bring anything new to the table/ relationship if you are always together! Great way to make things stale and stagnant if you don’t! So important for guys to have their night out with friends!

    @lillianpadilla1819 Год назад +3

    Everything that was shared by both of you was a powerful insight within self and how we think successful relationships can last.. all by honoring self, giving your best and accepting your partner for who they are and bring to the relationship. I’ve heard it said many times that a couple are TWO individuals coming together as ONE. Listening to this podcast from two well known male individuals made it easier for me to understand how important that concept can jumpstart and continue a loving successful relationship for the long term. I even felt comfort in hearing that as time passes and your not in alignment and the relationship ends, that’s ok too because having self love is what keeps you going and the love you carry within yourself will attract the right person❤️. Thank you both. Great podcast!

    Yes It did just got dumped from a 2 and a half year relationship and realizing how much we both have to grow and focus on each other’s personal and career paths before we are able to really give each other the attention we both wanted. She was a little needy and needed a lot of affection and love but I truly gave her my all. I know it’s not about the could’ve it’s about me being able to learn from it and truly understand myself.

    Being with one person for all your life is a beautiful thing as you grow and learn with all the imperfections which ultimately help the love to be unconditional. Also the alone time for each partner is a big part of keeping the bond and the love together. I totally enjoyed your podcast. It was filling and real. Thank you

    So true about the ability to self validate. I’ve seen ppl gg ard to get validation from everyone especially when the partner want the person to self validate. But when one is relunctant, it’s really tough to self validate. But that’s how it must work..

    This was the greatest episode! I’m saving it and will share with the next person I date. My values are both freedom and connection.
    I’m continuing to do my inner work so I can fully clear old trauma reactions and attachments…. So I can BE that which I’m intending on attracting!
    The last guy I dated said that intimacy caused him anxiety and wanted to explore polyamory to relieve his anxiety.
    Like you said, I shared that the root of anxiety is inside and cannot be healed with something outside. Oh well, he was a great guy but I’m not into that.
    Would love to hear you speak more on this trend of poly so I can better understand.
    Love all you both share!

    Thank you Jay and Lewis, this popped up just in time for me to see as I'm going through a divorce right now. Such an important conversation and I love how open you guys were about it! Definitely two of my top values are freedom and peace (a sense of peace) especially after getting out of this very stressful, harsh, abusive and un-peaceful marriage. Despite all the bad things in our relationship, I was still hesitant to make the decision to leave as I told myself "I made this commitment to be MARRIED to this person!" but of course at some point you realize (and I had to on a divine/spiritual level as well) that doesn't matter and things can't be fixed. Even though I don't necessarily want to be single and face an uncertain future, especially in my mid-30s, I would rather have the peace and harmony in my life away from this individual and be happy.

    This was me this morning on a text while listening: “I just listened to this podcast in the sauna and was like I have to pause my sauna…I HAVE TO SEND IT TO ALL MY FRIENDS". We are 20 years into our marriage with hubby thinking all we went through almost calling it quits. But after all our marriage is growing, learning and thriving! We are now helping other marriages.
    I texted to all my friends and posted on all my social media. I loved it all…well done guys! More please!

    Thanks guys, brilliant conversation. I have been single for many years now, and only recently, did my best friend ask....are you lonely? My response was so easily answered, "no". I love my life, although the current conditions are extremely challenging. Regardless of all that I have lost, I absolutely love my life. In saying this, because I love all that I have(internally) sharing it with the right person would be blissful. Lewis, you hit it on the head.....each individual should have their own lives, passions, goals,and then come home to share. I would say that my current value is simple it's love. Love, compassion, and all aspects of health. Mind, body and spirit. ❤

    Yesssss!!! Such a powerful conversation!!! It's always a pleasure to hear you guys share your thoughts and experiences. Look forward to more versions of this "awkward conversations"! Love the way you unpack each and every emotion/thought and move towards the ultimate goal! I have always been a firm believer of falling in love with the same person over and over again, sharing experiences together and most of my friends make fun of that(they call me old school!). It's so refreshing to hear you guys speak!!! Thank you so so much!!! Kudos to you!!!!😊😊😊😊

    I loved the way this conversation had progressed. This year infact has been the year where I had happened to have a similar conversation with my mother and dearest friend on our dining table over a cup of tea. And I had happend to mention (being single for a while and having experienced a fair share of my romantic relationships) that I would want the relationship to be reviewed, renewed constantly, atleast in a span of 2-3 years to assess if its living up to the two people's expectations. If its helping me and the other( whoever's it's going to be with) grow and evolve. Are we still able to maintain a certain bandwidth of curiosity about each other.? Do we still desire each other intimately emotionally, mentally and physically? Are we able to be create a shared space for vulnerability where nothing gets pushed under the carpet? Are we still in track to renew the contract or we take some steps to rejuvenate the contract or even rewrite it for ME and You and We?
    My core values as of now are Peace, Good enough Curiosity and Awe, Learning, Growth and a sense of adventure in sharing my life with someone who shares similar values, even a sense of adventure in exploring them, myself and our relationship.

This video made me see that I wasn't so wrong in my relationships before (because I wanted to share my purpose and I wanted we had our independency but shared our lives together). I thought I was the problem and the dreamer in my relationships before because I thought so different from what all my friends, family and partners thought. Now I now... that is possible. Thank you for that!

    Thank you both for your commitment to helping people expand their competence in relationship! I ALWAYS learn so much from you both and I loved the back and forth. My biggest take homes today: check ins (is this relationship working for you?), you have to be growing yourself to bring something back to the relationship, sex gives you a false sense of closeness/try getting to know someone without it first. Thank you!!

    It is all about dealing with expectations. I love the "high engagement and low attachment". It encourages you to enjoy the moment and start loving yourself more. It is about learning to be true to yourself and have your own space. This creates more desire. I've been blessed to be in love twice. I do believe you are in a reason for a reason, a season, or forever and if you feel you can't grow more with each other... move on. Doing this it makes you try more and give your relationship the energy you need! Love is worth the time...Daily Affection, appreciation and appreciation ...Yes it works!

    I was the serial surface level dater and then took a couple years to just heal trauma and I totally believe you can commit to one person as long as there is shared values and goals and independence and trust. I loved the part of the podcast where you talked about “ serving” , as someone who works in community services I think I’m realizing how important it is to me that I find someone who’s also compassionate and community focused- I never really considered that prior to todsy

    I loved this so much. I particularly loved what Jay said about it not being about promises, but the ability and choice to continue checking in with and sharing what is present and alive within each other throughout time. So much can change in a short period of time (a month, a week, even a day or moment), so the ability to continue to grow together by having real authentic conversations is what keeps relationships strong. I have to speak to the importance of having HARD conversations being a culprit to the strength of a relationship (the harder the workout, the more the muscle is worked, the stronger it becomes).
    What I value most in my relationships right now is authenticity, transparency, intimacy and light-heartedness. I also like it deep. I don't prefer shallow with those I choose to be close with. I find shallow conversations to be boring. I think sharing in depth with each other builds trust and a container in which to solidly build on and from.

    I have dated a lot in my life and learned if a man isn’t on the path like this video I’m not even considering them. This is how a healthy relationship should look; talking about all these things.
    I do think if your standards are high choices will be slim and just know it’s better than being unhappy with someone who isn’t open to talks and a healthy relationship. Focus on yourself and heal and be who you want to attract. I think everyone should watch this video! Love you guys thank you! Great advice! ❤
