— "A divine union is where both individuals show up with self-love, they take personal responsibility for their life choices and they seek to bring out the best in themselves and each other. This type of relationship allows both people to shine while fulfilling their individual life paths. These individuals have a purpose for waking up each day and motivation to be their best selves. They understand that they are not perfect (and never will be) but don't use imperfection as an excuse to hurt themselves or others. They are open-hearted, forgiving, and certain about how they feel.
