I am so deeply, madly, head over heels in love with this guy—————>
Everyday our relationship grows more and more stronger. Although, together we are learning that love is not easy.
Falling in Love is easy.
Staying in love?
That’s the real challenge.
It takes everything you have and then some more. It takes energy, time, patience, compassion, sacrifice, acceptance,compromise, commitment … everything, your whole heart.
[What I learned about Love this weekend]
I believe staying in Love is an Art.
Love is being there. I learned that presence is a key ingredient to loving someone. Just having someone sit with you while you cry over worries and discontentment speaks volumes. I am so lucky to have a boyfriend who listens with his heart and his ears.
Love is understanding. You are not always going to agree, but you can always understand. It’s not always easy but you find a way.
Love is romance. The little things are what keeps me on my toes. Stacey makes me feel like little ole me can make the big ole world a brighter and beautiful place.
Love is open. Gut-level, open and honest communication will keep you in love. Being completely seen by someone, completely vulnerable & committed to the moment. This is really tough for me. I like to keep all the bad feelings and emotions inside. The problem is it doesn’t take long for my inner conflicts to turn into mood swings. So before all of our worries, fears and doubts rob us of any more sleep how about trying to talk about them? I’ve learned it’s the way of love. 🙂
Love is a commitment. “Love that lasts is a commitment of one imperfect person to another imperfect person. It means that no matter what, I am committed to you and to your growth. I will be what you need me to be – not necessarily what you want me to be. If you need me to be loving and affectionate, I will be loving and affectionate. Or, if for your growth you need me to be tough and firm, I will be tough and firm. I will always strive to do and be what is best for your growth.”
Love is spiritual. Physical and emotional connection are not enough. If you want a lasting relationship, then spiritual connection is vital.
Loving relationships don’t just happen: they grow.
I have tons of respect for my parents who have been married for over 23 years. They have shown me what love is all about. And now I am experiencing it first hand with all of the ups and downs. Yeah, relationships are not always easy…actually relationships are extremely tough. They are physically and emotionally draining at times. But when you find someone that means that much to you, someone that is worth the challenges, someone that makes you want to grow stronger, someone that you can tackle life with…then I believe you will master the Art of staying in Love.
And if you are reading this and you haven’t found the love of your life yet, keep your head up. He’s out there…becoming a strong individual. So you just do you and become strong too.
