Dear Jovius,

Why does it always have to be about moving away from challenging relationships?  Isn’t it also possible
to work through challenges in relationships to improve them and have both individuals grow and learn without having to part ways?  I understand if things aren't working at all perhaps moving on is the solution, but sometimes I grow tired of hearing suggestions about just moving on to another relationship.  Perhaps the lesson is to learn how to work together through difficulties and grow closer.  Rarely do I hear advice about trying to work on a relationship or rekindle a relationship.  It seems it’s easier for people to just give advice about moving on to another person and that saddens me.

We understand and would like to be more clear.  Relationships are a training ground for those of you in body.  What you work out with one, you carry on into the next relationship.  These relationships aren't always romantic.  When we address them we are speaking more globally.  Each and every co-creation between two individuals is considered to be work in the relationship arena.  Not that all relationships are challenging.  Getting to know yourself is what can be the most difficult.  When you find someone that is particularly important in your life and worth the effort to find a way to stay together, by all means do so.  If it brings you joy, stay in it and co-create.  We are not in judgment of anyone who would find the challenge of such a relationship worth their investment of time, energy and emotion.  We do address those situations that are not working because frequently those are the ones which are hurtful and abusive and that continue to bring a low vibration to the collective consciousness.  It is appropriate to move away from what obviously cannot work and bring all parties involved into a place of joy, or at least hopeful to find joy.  Those are not what we would pursue as they are not for the greater good of all.  Those relationships that have potential and are not given love and nourishment are equally harmful.  It's about recognizing the difference and taking the appropriate action..
