Love & Relationships From a Spiritual Viewpoint – 3 Reasons People Get Into Bad Relationships

It’s very common for people to be inexplicably drawnninto bad relationships. Why does this happen?

Life on earth is all about personal lessons. Whilenrelationships may not always give us what we want, theynalways offer potential for spiritual growth. The main reasonnyou are drawn to those who may not be good for you is karma;nyou have unfinished business or lessons to experience together.
We are drawn to people in this life in part because of ournconnections with them from past lives.

Another reason may be that you have come together for anhigher purpose such as a child or work that will affect others.

Sometimes we are attracted to people because of our currentnlife programming, much of which is rooted in early lifenexperiences. Of course, as much as we have researched pastnlife regression and karma, we realize that even our childhoodnexperiences are likely to be karmic.

Also, some compare their relationships with the idealnrelationship, something most of us want. When this isndone, it's easy to find flaws.

Other reasons for being drawn to difficult relationshipsninclude the following: a test to let go, heal, and move on;nfear of being alone; an important, unique lesson; andnsometimes it's a signal that the love is genuine, but it maynnot be sensible.

Needless to say, if your partner is detrimental to you
physical, emotional, or mental well-being, it's time tonmove on.

Despite challenges, if two people feel a relationship isnworth continuing, and they still feel drawn to each other,nthey may have a soul contract to fulfill.
