The difference between a typical relationship and an enlightened one. Okay, so here's a look at the differences between a typical relationship and an enlightened one. Now, neither one of these is right or wrong. It's just comparing them. Okay? So you'll see that on the left it says typical relationship on the right, it says enlightened relationship.

So we're going to look at the characteristics first. So under typical relationship characteristics are shared living environment, shared responsibility, friendship, and physical intimacy. Now, the enlightened relationship characteristics, shared interests and time together, mutual support for growth, emotional intimacy, and true companionship. If you notice one just seems to be more intense than the other. Now back to typical relationship. We're going to look at how to improve a typical relationship.

They'll improve with communication strategies, compromise, remembering things in common Accepting differences, becoming aware of triggers and patterns. They need dependency, there's roles and conflict, but there's growth through experience. Okay? Now the enlightened relationship, they improve the relationship with creating a shared life vision, increasing quality, time together, helping each other reach their potential, improving the depth of their connection. Learn each other's love language, there's a star Beside that, because we're going to discuss that later in the course. They want union.

There's wholeness and cooperation and conscious growth. So again, one is not better or worse than the other. But enlightened relationships are just a little more intense, not in a bad way. Just there's more importance on them. It's another level, I would say have a relationship so you can figure out which one you might be in and if you want to change it or not. That's up to you.
