intimate romantic love is like taking graduate work towards a PhD in the ways of love, and many of us are hardly out of elementary school. When we’re not in a relationship, the ego makes it seem as though all the pain would go away if we were. If the relationship lasts, however, it will actually bring much of our existential pain to the surface. That’s part of its purpose. It will demand all of our skills at compassion, acceptance, release, forgiveness, and selflessness.” Marianne Williamson
