The material world is a perverted reflection of our real home - the spiritual world. As such, every relationship is imperfect only partially mirroring what it could be and what we yearn for. Nevertheless we keep trying. Yet material existence imposes powerful restrictions on developing satisfactory relationships with others.
Because we have willfully separated ourselves from God - Lord Krishna, the reservoir of all loving relationships, we are now suffering from a spiritual psychosis and consequent inability to understand and experience love. Desires push us around the world, and we switch from one partner to the next. The small bud of love, however, is unfailingly snapped off before it can unfold, bloom, and produce a fruit.
Our quest for that perfect relationship meets its final destination when we are enlightened with the torchlight of knowledge about the distinction between materialistic temporary sense gratificatory relations and permanent spiritual association with devotees, spiritual masters and pure self-realised souls. Such kind of spiritual association gives an impetus to and aids the process of reaching our ultimate goal i.e. going back to the eternal touchstone abode, the spiritual kingdom of God.
