No, not at all. To understand relationships as a living process, it is important to identify three kinds of lovers in each of us: addictive, healthy, and spiritual. The Addictive Lover Addictive love refers to taking care of other people at our emotional expense. It is a manipulative way to create dependence even when it is not needed. We deny parts of ourselves to keep people who meet our needs around. Addictive love is unhealthy because it is based on fear, control, illusions, and because it limits our growth.

The Spiritual Lover Living from a stance of healthy love is one of the greatest gifts we can receive. Yet even more is possible for us. We can bring another loverthe spiritual loverinto our lives. Spiritual lovers are spiritual journeyers. Spiritual lovers are always co-creating with all of life. Life and loving can be viewed as a journey of personal transformation. The transformation model proposes that we have two natures: a human nature and a spiritual nature.
