When I first launched my self-love course, I had a client of mine ask if I thought self-love should replace romantic love? Which was a really good question! BUT, the answer is unequivocally: no.
Here's the thing about relationships (and this applies to all relationships, but I'm really narrowing in here on romantic ones) is that we *heal* in relationship. I'm not dissing on the monastic life, but really, it's infinitely easier to avoid being triggered, having our shadows come to the surface and examining our inner children if we're living a total hermit lifestyle.
It's in relationships where we rub up against each other and find the parts of ourselves that need to be understood/healed/integrated. Here's two reasons (honestly, there are so many) why I think self-love is so important:
First, to understand *how* it is we like to be loved. In a lot of ways, I made this course for a younger version of myself - who really had no idea how she liked to be loved. Did I prefer touch or words of affirmation? How did I like my partner to show their love for me? I really didn't know! It was in learning self-love that I was able to understand and then communicate how I liked to be loved.
Second, we attract what we are. If we can understand that we are *all* worthy of being loved in a way that feels good/safe/pleasurable to us then we set the frequency for our partners to love us at. I have found in my own life, that the deeper I am able to love myself, the deeper connection I am able to find in my own romantic life.
