Getting to know one's spiritual beliefs usually happens pretty early on in a relationship. Its one of those foundations of a relationship where most feel their beliefs must match a potential partner. There are times in established relationships, where an individuals spiritual beliefs change and now may be different from their partners.

In this episode the Freemans dive into how to have a relationship continue and to thrive even when spiritual beliefs may not be the same. Questions asked in this interview 1) Can you, as a finite human being, truly and fully understand the infinite? 2) Do you fully understand how even a blade of grass works in its entirety?

Hence why we talk about what is your meaning of money as a couple, as a couple, but even as an individual inside of your relationship. Is it for security? Is it for status as a for enjoyment or control, and for me, I went to my engineering job, I earned a salary and it was all about stockpiling. It was about making that savings account as big as possible because it brought me a sense of security and can I say that I had a lot of enjoyment around money? No, not really at all. And when I went to purchase by invest into things like clothes or shoes, it was very difficult for me to actually kind of let go actually as I think about this. Contributing and giving to other people was very difficult because now with my mindset stockpiling for security, I always saw items from myself or giving to others as reducing what I had.

A friend asked me recently, "I know you are about having other couples fulfill their dreams together. But why are relationships so important to you?" This question made me travel back in time and look over my life as to what relationships meant to me back in grade school and through college. What I ended up rediscovering is that I honestly believed at one point that not only would I probably never get married, but I would be single forever. My specific religious upbringing rooted fear around premarital sex and with so much evidence that I wasn't desired (being broken up with, cheated on and in one moment, feeling I had no support from my parents) gave me the belief that I was all alone in a dangerous world. Questions asked in this interview: 1) What beliefs have been limiting you from creating the relationship that fulfills both of your dreams together? In this episode you will learn: Thankfully, none of us are products of the circumstances that have come up in our lives. However there are many things that may have happened to you in the past that have created beliefs about yourself that are totally false. However they have been running your life like they are the reality. This may even be currently running in your relationship now. Quotes: "I was sure I'd be single forever. Until..."
