“Spiritual relationship is far more precious than physical. Physical relationship divorced from spiritual is body without soul” Mahatma Gandhi
Today, most relationships are based on a ‘give and take’ barter system: I will repay only what I get. Or give and take from others what I want, in the measure I want. Many relationships do not grow beyond this attitude. To a great extent, relationships are related to a person’s spiritual standard. People with a solid spiritual foundation will be capable not only of establishing relationships but also sustaining them.
A recent study conducted by Journal of Personality, in which two thousand people participated, reveals that those who keep themselves aloof from the society, learn the meaning of relationships and the value of life when they begin to connect themselves with a religion. Religious faith helps one to rediscover the lost meaning of life and re-connect with society in a meaningful way.
Sustaining and nurturing relationships will help you to discover the meaning of life. Be it spouses or friends, two persons who share the same level of spirituality will definitely derive joy from such relationships. As per the study conducted by Columbia University, spiritual relations are emotionally sound too. These people will be more capable of overcoming mental conditions like depression. Spiritual people will be kind. Spirituality will enable a person to solve relationship problems and bear with the shortcomings of other persons.
Spirituality is a stress-reliever. One of the reasons why a person bursts with anger at trivial matters is the stress he or she is holding within. When spirituality relieves one’s stress, it will help one to maintain good relationships. In a nutshell, spirituality enhances your relationships and helps you to maintain healthy relationships.
