What does being dedicated really mean? Does it include acceptance of the other person, despite their flaws, and forgiveness of the other person?
We know from Ra a bit about the sexual transfer of energies in the higher chakras. In my experience, the sexual energies naturally move up as the relationship progresses. So I don't really see how an energy exchange at the higher chakra level would be possible with someone we don't have a strong relationship with, that has developed over time and repeated choice of love, acceptance and forgiveness of the other-self. (Of course, it's possible for this to have happened in past lives, so the relationship in this life might seem accelerated.)
In other words, if I've barely just met someone and have not yet had a chance to love, accept and forgive them, how could I expect to have a foundation of green ray energy exchange, much less open communication and honesty (blue), devotion to the spiritual path (blue and leading up to indigo)?
When I look up at the Sun and think about those entities copulating in ecstatic bliss, I don't think they're doing it at the lower chakra levels only.
Here is an older post of mine on this point that might apply here also:

This isn't a criticism of enjoying a sexual energy exchange at whatever level it's at; but I don't think it could be called an exchange of energy at all chakra levels in the way that Ra described.
Anyway, getting back to the original question, it would seem that choosing a partner would depend on what one's goals are in life. Is the goal to learn to love and accept an other-self completely? Is the goal to find someone with whom to work on spiritual progress? One can progress spiritually alone. All paths are valid. But the path of a dedicated, monogamous relationship offers tremendous opportunity for efficient catalyst. (As does the path of parenthood, if one chooses to see it that way.)
Oh wow, I just found where Pickle quoted the exact quote I was thinking of!
