Loving Your Partner is an ongoing activity, it is simple to fall out of love, but we must continuously endeavor to keep our love alive. Below are my favorite tips to keep your love alive.
Distinguish between infatuation and love:
Love is seeing all the flaws and blemishes and accepting them. Love is accepting the bad habits and mannerisms, and working around them. Also, it is recognizing all the fears and insecurities, and knowing your role is to comfort. Furthermore, Love is working through all the challenges and painful times. Infatuation is fragile and will shatter when life is not perfect.
Choose to love your partner:
Choose to show your love for your partner, all relationships have one law. Never make the one you love feel alone, especially when you are there.
Be open and honest with each other:
A loving partnership is about character – integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat one another.
Date your partner all over again:
Just because you are married and have a ring on the finger and a paper certificate should not stop you from dating your partner, go on date nights like lovers and not a married couple.
Stay in love:
Lao Tzu said: “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” In a marriage with responsibilities of children, parents, financial obligations, it becomes very easy to fall out of love, stay connect with each other, find a common interest, and stay in love like you used to be.
Love the whole person:
Love every aspect of your significant other, love their annoying habits, love their interests, love their mind, love their soul, love their body despite all its blemishes.
Be-one but be separate:
Be one with your spouse, but have an independent life also, have your own friends, your own interests, and your own hobbies. It may sound like an oxymoron, but it is the key to loving your partner.
There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved. Show your love and it is but natural that the other person will reciprocate.
