For many of us, the main question remains: why can't we have a decent relationship in the present or why the past relationships did not work, despite of all the effort, energy and love we placed in them?

In traveling life, sometimes we meet someone when we are still working on discovering who we are and what our purpose in life is. Sometimes we may draw towards ourselves someone that still has a lot to learn and to discover.

The answer may be that before taking embodiment, our Souls may have made contracts and agreements whose baseline is service. Many of these soul contracts were established to hold a place on others emotional lives until they reached a level of strength, ability, skill and self-reliance. Many times we attract people into our lives to serve a role model, an example what they could be, if they chose to be more aware of their own potentialities.

A previous past life vow made under intense emotions can also carry over into sequential past lives, the present, and future lives with no boundary on its timing. The same outcome can repeat itself through this thread of successive lives.

We can bring up, between many other vows of that nature, the particular case of an "everlasting love" vows done in past lives. This serves as an example to show how patterns in the form of destiny are carried over into our present lifetime. This example is about a "love destiny" brought from a past life love vow. Its chance aspect restricts finding love anywhere but exclusively with the avowed lover.

Someone may have lived a past life where they fell deeply in love with someone else and the love was reciprocally intense. Those ones may have done a vow for their love lasting forever excluding themselves from discovering love in another connection. This would sound like something wonderful if it did not create a potential problem arising out of the same vow; the binding of their souls limited to each other as loving couple for every following lifetime, without an expiration date.

That means that in each others future life, when they are in relationships that are not with the avowed "true loving partner", the relationship seems lacking, as if something dearly wanted is missing. This is the way love destiny brought by everlasting love vows can manifest itself.
This situation will be carried on until a time when the vow is broken and the person can move on to a new complete loving relationship. This explanation from past lives may be the reason for the difficulty in finding love in the present.

In all relationships there are always two sides, and it is also your partner's choice to make the relationship progress or not. We may hold a place in their lives being a living example, but the success of any connection is based on an agreement of similar vibration, in order to manifest and be a co-creator of realities. It is important to keep in mind that in certain moments of our lives, we will tend to attract exactly who we are supposed to in that specific moment.

Something that the seeker has to keep in mind is the power of old commitments, vows and soul contracts. In past lives, you may have made vows which you are still locked into and these will affect your life, restraining your present relationships from flowing and prospering.

Vows are often made with ritual or ceremony, in front of witnesses; this is what sets them so strongly in your consciousness, so that they get imprinted on your unconscious mind as memory cells or Sankara (see Note). Many times during these ceremonies, individuals call in the angels to help them to keep their vows. Consequently, through many lifetimes, an angel has been assigned to oversee every vow you made.

If you are still being influenced by past marriage vows, it will be helpful to release them. A marriage is a ceremony and sometimes a divorce does not release the energy of the original contract and the energy may still remain. One should strive to release old vows and live in the present moment.

Note: Sankara is a part of the Law of Karma and is the residual life memories of very intense or traumatic experiences from past existences. These can manifest into our lives through a succession of similar events or circumstances. Sankara is also another name for memory cells.
