How we relate to and with companions with which we don’t share physical attraction, someone you’ve separated or divorced (and co-parenting… maybe,) and/or past lovers, teaches us and each other of boundless and infinite love, which makes of them mirrors of our best self and so conduits of change and growth.

[3] Far from being timeless and universal though, romantic love is in fact a modern construct. By overly preoccupying ourselves with playfulness and romance, we risk neglecting other types of love that especially in the long term may be more healing and fulfilling. Like the kind of love that can be professed for and by someone you are now with but not romantically involved, you’ve separated or divorced and/or past lovers but you now love because of the personal qualities and the compatibilities you share in making your common goals work.
