Sacred relationship can be a powerful vehicle for personal transformation and spiritual growth. As we become aware that we are a mirror or reflection of the internal state of consciousness of our partners and vice-versa, then we begin to accept the responsibility of consciously working on our own personal growth while at the same time supporting that of our partner. Through the individual and mutual development of spiritual qualities and abilities the relationship ceases to exist as merely two individuals but combines in a synergistic relationship that is greater than the individuals were separately.
