That's the incredible high we all call being "in love." Unfortunately, once they expect this feeling to come from the other person, they cut themselves off from the energy in the universe and begin to rely even more on the energy from each other – only now there doesn't seem to be enough and so they stop giving each other energy and fall back into their dramas in an attempt to control each other and force the other's energy their way. At this point the relationship degenerates into the usual power struggle
"That's the incredible high we all call being 'in love'." This feeling, often seen as the ultimate joy, initially comes from a universal energy source. However, many individuals start expecting their partner to provide this energy, which leads them to disconnect from the larger universe's energy flow.
As reliance shifts solely onto the partner, the energy exchange diminishes, causing frustration and conflict. Couples then fall into control struggles, attempting to force their partner to provide the needed energy, ultimately degrading the relationship into a power struggle, as described in James Redfield's book, The Celestine Prophecy.
