The journey of love is a journey of many sweet knowings. It is the sweet bliss, in first love, of discovering all your love’s little secrets, her favorite flower and fragrance, the color that sets off her eyes so; his plaid flannel shirt, the way he laces up his boots, his shaving brush, and that one wild hair in his eyebrow; the scent of her skin, the feel of her hair, the drawer she keeps her lingerie in.

It’s later, the being together of love, the sound of the key as he locks up the house, of the rain in the shower each morning, as, singing, she washes her hair. It is how she rolls over at night in bed, how he sleeps, like a saint, with his hands folded over his chest; it is what he can fix; what she can mend.

And it is the changing, this way and that way. Arguing. There are the…

Loves meanings come in a broad array of words but the words “I love you” stand head and shoulders above the rest and that’s when those three little words convey the feelings that two hearts are beating as one. But romantic love blossoms in a rainbow of  colors and words that changes hues every second of every hour. So when you say “I love you” to each other take care to since the words real meaning. Remember being a kid playing with a chemistry set? Some experiments worked, some fizzled. When we become adults we discover that some relationships work, while others fail to bubble.  The secret to any chemical reaction is putting in enough energy for the molecules to ignite.

When two people fall in love, a chemical process bubbles up, and from their love and entirely new love is created. While the two remain individuals and lead their separate lives, when they are together they’re…

You’ve been taught to say “thank you” for presents, but do you acknowledge the little presents your sweetheart gives you every day? You can never say thank you enough or be thanked enough. Grand gestures are fun and they can make your heart soar. But if they only happen once or twice a year what’s the fun in that? Little gestures are not as splashy and they might even go unnoticed. Sometimes it seems like if it wasn’t for the raindrops the oceans would soon be empty and doing small acts of kindness for the one you love or receiving kindness from them can be like raindrops that keep your reservoir of love flowing.

When people lose their sweetheart whom they’ve loved dearly, it’s not the grand gestures that they miss. It’s the little things. It’s the nightly kiss goodnight. It’s the vase with just one flower in it that they gave you just because…

Love is complex all by itself and it’s not an emotion that can readily be understood. You can’t take it apart to analyze it and it doesn’t become any clearer when seen through a microscope.  Many men enjoy complexity and life is like a giant puzzle they’re itching to solve, and the more pieces, the better. That’s fine if they are building something in their workshops, tinkering with their cars, or driving to some unknown destination, but is doesn’t always work so well when assembling love.

Just because love exists doesn’t mean that it can be understood. So accept love’s simplicity and appreciate it without an examination. Accept it as it is. Accept each other and your singular. Think of it this way love is like a coat of many colors. You put it on and bathe in its glow. You don’t have to understand anything. You don’t have to see how the pieces fit they just do for the…

Love is a mystery, the essence of it is almost angelic. It’s very nature goes beyond what we can understand by any of the systems through which we usually comprehend reality. It both binds and frees us. It opens our hearts and breaks our hearts. It can  neither be seen, except in the eyes of the beloved, nor felt, except in the heart of the one who is cherished.

In visible, its absence leaves us gray hearted, wounded in spirit, while its presence transforms our hearts, our psyches, and our lives. Many seek love without knowing what it is, knowing they will know when they find it. This is the true mystery of love, that no matter how much we are unable to describe it, we always recognize it when we experience it. Sometimes love comes to stay, nourished and coddled by the feelings and efforts of those who have invited it in. Love infuses itself into relationships by means that are beyond our invention or imagining . 

But if it is…

Sadly, you may be in a crisis or maybe more than one. You may be feeling that no matter how blue the skies are today, it’s going to rain on your parade at some point. When that happens you should be able to use your sweethearts shoulder to cry on but sometimes for one reason or another they let you down. If the crisis thunders by quickly, the relationship will surely hold, but if it lingers it could  pull you further and further apart until the relationship breaks. And in a hurricane of events, even the most solid of duos may find themselves straining to hold their relationship together.

When you’re under stress, it’s easy to take your sweetheart for granted, but that may leave you blind-sided by a blow from somewhere that you least expect it. If your relationship has never been test by one of life’s more serious curves, don’t assume that you know…

Love is like a garden and unless you tend to it, you’ll never reap the full rewards that it brings. The ground needs to be tilled with kindness, because if is too hard, love’s seed can’t spout up. The seeds have to be planted with care if they are to penetrate your heart. Love needs to be watered with kind words and compliments. 

Love longs for your undivided attention just as the weeds of pettiness and lies must be pulled from the field of love. The fruits of love need time to grow and cannot be picked until they are ripe. If you don’t put the required effort into your garden of love, you can be certain that the weeds will invade and your garden will yield little in the way of love. But if you work at it, you’ll find a bumper crop of love waiting for you to…

Does your sweetheart have some foibles that drive you crazy?  This is part of being in a relationship and those foibles were  a part of them way before you came along.  No, really in all likelihood, each foible was part of your sweetheart long before you met. It’s not something that he or she does just to drive you nuts. Why does she always forget her keys? Why does he have to check his apps notifications while he is driving? Why does he leave the kitchen cupboard doors open all the time? After all it’s not that hard to close a door is it?

These are questions that you may end up asking yourself to the end of time and never get an answer. We all have our good points, but they’re paired with the bad ones. Without that mix, we’d be boring. With it, we can be taxing. What makes it all worthwhile is the love the…

Your eyes can express feelings that words cannot, your eyes say, “I missed you,”  “I’m angry with you”,  “I adore you.” or “I trust you.”  Your partner knows how you really feel with or without words. And when you use your eyes with your words, they add an emphasis that can’t be missed.

Eye contract is vital in every relationship. When spoken into space , the words “I love you” lose half their meaning, maybe even all of it. (Unless you’re on the phone, of course.) It’s when you say those words while looking into your sweethearts eyes that they mean the most.

So, try to spend some time each day looking into each other’s eyes, you’ll be expressing yourselves in a way that words cannot duplicate. Maybe you were across the room and your eyes met. Maybe that’s how it began. soon you communicated with words and with your bodies, but…

Help doesn’t have to be physical and sharing doesn’t mean losing control. But a loved one’s support can mean everything in coping with life’s problems. So when your partner offers a lifeline and you’re tempted to toss itaside, look into the eyes of the person holding the other end and grab on. If you are in a relationship that means the two of you are in it for the good times and the hard times. If you are use solving your problems yourself, even a minor crisis may cause you to shut your psyche up tight like a clam.

But if your partner loves you, he or she is going to sense that something is wrong, even without knowing what it is. Your partner wants to help you get through this. If you lock up your feelings refuse your partner’s help, it may cause rift. If it happens over and over…

Harmony is the spiritual beauty of any intimate relationship and the elegant coexistence, peaceful compatibility, a similarity of frequency. It’s knowing that you share the same view of the world, that what you want out of life runs along parallel lines. It’s looking at your sweetheart and being able to say to yourself,”We stand for the same things, don’t we? “We may encounter some rough spots, but at heart we both share the same values.”

In relationships, harmony is a gift of the spirit. It is a mystic similarity of essence that allows you to operate both separately and together from knowing that between you there is a sacred resonance. In a sense, it’s the very reason you chose each other in the first place, if there weren’t a certain degree of harmony between you, you wouldn’t have thrown your lot in together and established a relationship. When there’s harmony you can…

Having the courage to say “No’ means that you trust yourself and your relationship. It means you believe your bond has the strength and resilience to absorb your “No,” as well as the power, as a consequence to grow in well being, in moral fortitude. In saying “No” you exercise that faith, that the two of you, together, can live by the values represented by our No; recognizing that theses values will take you to a level higher that the one embodied by the things that you are choosing to resist. 

Sure, you could have five more drinks and lose consciousness. Yes, you could tell a lie and lose your integrity, Yes, you could capitulate to all your sweethearts preferences and then resent him or her because you did. We are defined in life and in love not only by what we have the fortitude to undertake but also by what we have the courage to resist. In…
