At first we experienced a lot of true love in our relationship. But then time passes and we start to take each other for granted. As we get more familiar with each other, the feeling of true love starts to disappear. Can we discover a way to keep the true love alive?
Yes and no. Becoming familiar with our partner is going to happen. Taking them for granted some is going to happen. Anything we come in contact with day in and day out is going to become more automatic and appear less fresh over time. This is going to happen in your relationship.
However, you don't have to lose the vitality and true love from your relationship as this happens. There are things you can do to keep the love alive. To begin with, understand this vital point: you don't need overwhelming feelings of true love all the time to feel intimate with your mate. Just a little experience of true love, lasting a few minutes a day, is all you need. A little true love goes a long way.
Here is a simple practice for keeping true love alive. Think of three things you appreciate about your mate. Do it right now. Then, turn this into a habit, think of three things you're grateful for about your lover every day. They can be the same three things, but some gratitude will keep the door open for true love.
The next thing you can do to keep true love alive is to express some of it every day with your lover. Don't sit around waiting for them to show their love, you show yours first, every day. This can be as simple as a strong hug, or a shoulder massage, or walking around the block with them and sharing your day.
If you want to keep true love going strong in your marriage, make these two simple practices a daily habit.
