Can you have a relationship with someone and still be a jedi

The way I view it is the characters in the fiction are not Jedi, but the most heavily weighted within an allegory for what a real Jedi might/should/could be. They are not ideals to me, nor the messages and actions necessarily literal.

If they are not ideals then why do you try to be like them? Why do you take their name and call your place a temple and I see all kinds of light sabers around here so...Im confused? I was talking to another person and they told me so many differences I was wondering if there were any similarities between this place and Star Wars Jedi? I mean what is the deal with that?
I see the lack of relationship in my life as the space I need to gain higher consciousness and greater control of powers. I am practicing Jedi powers and I want to master them. If I want to do this I dont see much room for other things like kids or spouse or stuff like that. I want to be like the real Jedi I see in the movies. I thought this place was closer to that? :S

I think your whole (rhetorical) question is based on a massive misunderstanding of TotJO
I hate to break it to you, but I don't know anyone (including at TotJO) who can use the force to make lightning, seductively move other people's fruit, or lift their starship out of a swamp. At the same time, don't let me stop you from looking for that elsewhere.
If you do find that not having human interaction gives you super powers, I'd ask you tell me... but then you'd lose your powers, so I guess I'll have to be content

Being a Jedi means having a relationship with and to everyone, at all times. Some will be more intimate than others, and that's OK. Some may be romantic, and that's OK.
Real-world Jedi are human, and humans do things like this. What's important isn't a "you can do this" and "you can't do that" set of rules. It's a mindfulness, an attention to one's own life, own intent, and own motivation which matters.
Jedi "can" do almost anything if the intent is pure. So the question becomes: can you have a relationship with someone and still be a Jedi?

No I would think you cant be a Jedi and have a relationship though. Thats what I think Im saying. If you call yourself a Jedi after the Jedi in the movies but you have a relationship then you are not a Jedi like that. you are something else arent you? I dont get why call yourself a Jedi then? What makes you Jedi and not something else? I guess, I asked this to another, What is the same in this place as the Jedi in movies that you call yourself Jedi?
