Are family or personal relationships part of spiritual growth?

For sure: Family and personal relationships can give us endless opportunities to practice (or learn from the ground up) qualities such as patience, kindness, lovingness, compassion, and service -- all of which contribute to spiritual growth. Some have said, "if you think you're spiritually evolved, go visit your parents for a weekend." :-) we're all growing, and our connections with each other are key.

Relationships: Relationships are the vehicle by which spiritual growth takes place, the spiritual qualities of kindness, compassion , empathy, tolerance must be practiced with others and cannot develop in isolation. Best.
