An excerpt from Dr. Linda Miles, our official Marriage & Family Therapist Expert, new book Friendship on Fire.
What is a friendship on fire?
It is a compassionate and sensual bond that lasts because you find your soul's true home with your partner. The friendship offers safety, and the fire provides the sparks. In a friendship on fire union, partners are advocates and protectors of the other and they share life-giving sparks of energy.
Robert Johnson observed that when we fall in love it is an initiation into spiritual forces much greater than ourselves. Friendship on fire is sustained by divine forces beyond our own egos. Those with this kind of lasting connection share the knowledge that love is what matters in life and make this a priority through gestures, facial expressions, touch, tone of voice; they are vigilant about the delicate connection of their souls. They remember that they are so much more than their egos.
