I believe the answer is:

bemuse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'only be bewildering' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'to live with a goddess' is the wordplay.
'to live' becomes 'be' ('be' can be a synonym of 'live').
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a goddess' becomes 'muse' (the muses in Greek myth).
'be'+'muse'='BEMUSE'

'will' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bemuse that I've seen before include "Confound" , "Bewilder or baffle" , "Perplex" , "Confuse, bewilder" , "Muddle or stupefy" .)
