A lot of us have been raised with the Bible and with movies from Hollywood to believe that God shouts down from the heavens or appears in a burning bush. It's always so dramatic and kind of scary. So that's what we all expect when we're asking God for some answers.

It always comes back to the fact that it is best to listen to that inner voice, whether you're in a relationship or not.

People do not always take responsibility for their own spirituality and their own spiritual relationship with God.

I think too much importance is placed on spirit guides. They involve looking outside of ourselves to do it, to fix it, to tell us what to do.

Men have never really been encouraged to listen to their intuition, or told that they have an intuition. It's been more of a female thing, at least according to our society, but that's not true at all.

We have a lot of controlling people who are trying to tell us how to live our lives, and a lot of co-dependent people around us. We bump up against these people, too, when we're trying to get on the spiritual path.

It's not harder to hear the inner voice when you're in a relationship, but it's more of a challenge to follow it.
