How to Have a Happy Relationship
Relationship Help – 3 Keys To True Love
True love is what everybody wants in their relationship. We all have intimacy needs and we all want true love. We hope for it and work hard to find the right relationship so we can have it.
Then, when we get into a relationship, it feels great at first. We often feel some stirrings of true love. But over time, the longer we are together, it seems like true love starts to slip away some. The person who felt so right in the beginning can start to feel less right after a while.
Finding true love usually ends up being easier than keeping true love. If it was easy to keep it, we’d all still be with our first high school crush. How then do you keep true love from slipping away? There are some key factors.
A first key true love factor is to get than ALL relationships have phases. The first honeymoon phase where everything is great can’t last. It gives way to the me/us phase, where some separation occurs and we need to get on with our own goals and interests. True love isn’t gone, it just changes form.
A second important factor for keeping true love is to understand that there needs to be a balance between giving and receiving. You can’t do all the giving or all the receiving. You both have to give and take. If you don’t, you will kill off true love.
A third important factor to keeping true love alive is simple yet very powerful. This factor is PLAY. The more you play with your mate, the closer and more intimate you will feel. Too often the burdens of adulthood take over our lives and we forget to make time to play with our mate.
Do you have a regular date night? Do you have a few things you enjoy doing together? Playing together may be hard if youve gotten out of the habit, but with a little attention you can start to bring some back. And studies have shown the more play the less fighting and conflict. Play is good!
So keeping true love is a work in progress. Dont give up because it is challenging at times. Pay attention to true love and keep focused on giving it some of what it needs on a regular basis. And keep learning. The more you learn about it the more of it you will have.
