Relationship Re-Creation:

OUR LOVE AND RELATIONSHIP EXPERT, Carie Bailey, shares her personal journey of transforming marital challenges into profound opportunities for growth AND HOW reconnecting with our Divine Nature can expand our capacity for true, enduring love.

Ending a story with “Happily Ever After” leaves out the best part: the struggle two different individuals go through to harmonize polarities with the shared vision of becoming one and creating a love that can endure anything.

In real life, our hero’s journey with love is even better than the fairytale because the obstacles we face can reveal our true selves, foster growth through our differences, and cultivate a deeper, greater capacity for love than we ever imagined.

THE TURNING POINT

In 2019, my husband and I stood at an intense impasse amidst the accumulation of misunderstandings and unresolved pain, not knowing how to make our marriage work. All I could feel was painful loneliness. After over a decade of marriage, I wasn’t sure I knew what love was.

I began asking myself what I wanted beyond just for the emotional pain to end.

Visioning New Possibilities

Even though it was not our current reality, and neither of us knew how to get there, I knew it had to be possible to emerge from our challenges even more unified and connected. I wanted to discover love that had the capacity to see beyond current behavior and circumstances, to co-create new possibilities.

I wanted to get back the magic that came from seeing the greatness in one another that we somehow lost along the way as we gathered evidence to the contrary.

I wanted to re-discover how to love and be loved like that, and I wanted to re-create this with my husband. Blaming him only kept me powerless to shift my experience.

Turning Inward

I began to imagine not having to try to avoid or outrun emotional pain. What if the pain I felt in our relationship was an invitation to turn inward to discover or learn something?

Unveiling the True Source of Loneliness

I discovered that my deep, aching loneliness wasn’t something that anyone or anything could alleviate. I was searching for connection, love, validation, worth, value, purpose, peace, safety, freedom, and power in all the wrong places—outside of myself. I expected my marriage to fill the void and emptiness I felt within me.

As I explored the root cause of my emotional pain, I realized something profound: it wasn’t the abandonment or the abuse from my childhood that needed to be addressed. It was what I made my experiences mean about who I am. My past painful experiences had distorted who I believed myself to be and my inherent worthiness, leading me to believe I was not good enough, broken, and unlovable.

At some point, influenced by external factors, I went into agreement with that view of myself. I needed to discover who I really am independent of outside influences. I was the only one with the power to shift who I know myself to be.

Our loneliness is not merely a result of external circumstances but a reflection of an internal disconnection from the aspect of ourselves that is eternal, Divine, unbreakable, pure, and loves abundantly. True healing and fulfillment can only be achieved by reconnecting with and embracing our inherent Divine Nature. By reclaiming my Divinity, I finally found the peace and connection I longed for.

Expanding Our Capacity to Love

In remembering who I am, I found a profound sense of safety within myself, no longer needing a fortress around my heart.

Our instinctual fear-based human heart is designed for self-preservation, and therefore loves in the best way it knows how: conditionally. This is not our true capacity to love.

Love is not something we need to seek externally. It is a force that emanates from within when we are connected to our Divine Nature. It is who we truly are. By nurturing this inner connection, we discover that true, lasting love is not only possible, it is our destiny.

Redefining What Is Possible

Our loved ones provide our greatest challenges because they are the most confronting mirrors to what is happening within us. These relationships can become the direct path to a remembrance of our Divinity.

Emotional pain is an invitation to turn inward to discover our true selves, and expand our capacity to love. By seeing the Divinity within ourselves and others, we turn obstacles into opportunities for connection, strengthening our relationships and empowering us to create lasting, meaningful impact starting where it matters most- within our homes, then rippling into every relationship we have.

We have the power to redefine what is possible in our relationships and marriages, ushering in a new era of Transcendent Relationships that set a new standard for intimacy and unity. This transformation paves the way for authentic, dynamic relationships, making true love not just a possibility but a reality within our reach, inspiring a legacy of extraordinary connection that lifts humanity.
