Is There a Right Way to Love?

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Right Way to Love There are so many different interpretations of what love is that one might wonder if there is a right way to love? Actually, there is no correct way to love because love means so many different things to different people. What may be an act of love for one couple may not even come close to what love is to another couple.

Right Way to Love Love is unique to every individual and every couple. The things that a couple does for each other in a relationship to express love, is very personal to them. Of course there are some general, common beliefs about what love is but when it comes to the details on how to love, this is unique to each individual and each couple for that matter.

For instance, a couple might do random acts of kindness for each other to express their love for one another. In another relationship, acts of kindness here and there may not be enough. Often, couples have expectations of each other, which need to be satisfied by their partner for love to exist between them in the fullest sense. When couples are in a relationship and one partner doesn’t meet the needs of the other, there may be tension between them. Love is such a delicate balance of give and take it seems. What is expected of a loving relationship various among people.

It is amazing actually, when no two people are the same, that love can exist as it does. It must be that people are attracted to their opposites in many situations. Not to say that couples don’t share similarities, but they certainly are not the same. When people are not the same, they think, feel and behave differently about different things. It is a rather large accomplishment actually to find love in relationships full of differences. The key is the appreciation of differences rather than the criticism of them.

Issues arise when people in relationships go into the relationship expecting their partner to think, feel and behave as they do or as a past partner did. This sort of unrealistic expectation is the perfect way to unhappiness in a relationship. This goes back to appreciation of each other’s differences and individuality. Some of the happiest couples are those who respect each other’s differences. Not to say that people in relationships should be pardoning and respecting their partner for differences in thoughts, feelings or behaviors which are destructive to the relationship. There is a need to mutually use discretion in drawing the line as to what differences are workable in the relationship and which ones are going to cause it to fail. Trust your instincts on this one and you should be fine.

In conclusion, if a person is seeking the right way to love in their relationship, they just need to trust their heart and mind on this one. Go with what your heart tells you and with what you know about the likes and dislikes of your partner. Be emotionally and mentally in tune with the one you love and you should have no problem finding the right way to love in your relationship.

Chemistry of Love

Monday, May 14th, 2007

Chemistry of Love A relationship that involves an intense chemistry between two people is extremely powerful! Sometimes chemistry is the reason that the relationship starts, while other times chemistry is discovered after the relationship is initiated. When there is a relationship that lacks chemistry, it tends to lead to a different kind of love or a more platonic friendship.

Chemistry of Love Chemistry between two people can be described as a type of biological electricity that gives the couple a rush of passion when they are together. Sometimes the chemistry is so powerful between a couple, that it can be mutually felt when they are just in each other’s presence and are not even touching. It is this non-tangible type of chemistry that is the most powerful of all, as it just intensifies the closer the two people get to each other. When such a couple’s hands touch, there is an instant biological response, which almost makes them feel like they are weightless and floating.

True, powerful chemistry is emotionally intoxicating for the couple involved. Couples that are this intensely attracted find it hard to pull away from each other in order to address other aspects of their day to day life. It is almost as though the couple is experiencing a huge amount of passion toward each other, which takes them to a personal world of their own, filled with the deepest of attraction toward each other.

Although chemistry is a very strong feeling between couples, it can exist without real love. Chemistry without love is something that can be emotionally hurtful unless both people are on the same page about the relationship. Love is not all about the biological experiences between two people. Love and compassion is expressed in many ways. A couple can deeply love each other but lack the intense chemistry that some people are fortunate enough to experience. No one type of relationship is any better, they are just different.

Often, a couple who lacked chemistry in the beginning discovers it over time. This is a gradual type of love, which takes time to mature and grow stronger and stronger. This sort of love is like when a person is making a fire in the fireplace and to grow from a small spark to a glowing, vibrant flame. The evolution of such a love can be filled with lots of ups and downs, which make the relationship stronger over time. It can be a challenging and yet very beautiful experience for both people. Sometimes it is the difficult times that make a person appreciate the good times when they have them.

Chemistry is not needed to be in love, but if you have it, it is often a very powerful love that takes the couple to emotional levels that exceed anything imaginable. The key is to be open to feel and experience your true emotions. Sometimes people are so stressed and worried about so many things that they don’t loosen up enough to feel a chemistry that could be there. Release you inhibitions and feel whatever attractions are there to feel. You may be suddenly surprised by the fact that the person, who was only your friend for so long, is actually your soul mate and the chemistry between you takes you through the roof! Don’t be so distracted that you overlook the obvious. Sometimes what you are looking for it right in front of you!

Opposite Personality Types in Love

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

Opposite Personality TypesAre you attracted to a person who has the opposite personality of you? If so, you are not alone. Many people fall in love with someone who is the opposite of themselves in many ways. The different reasons why opposites attract each other can be very interesting.

Opposite Personality TypesSometimes people fall in love with a person who has qualities or characteristics that they admire. An example of this would be a man or a woman who is attracted to someone who they aspire to being like. This person could be an inspiring figure in their life, which they gradually find themselves attracted to romantically. This sort of relationship can be very satisfying and stimulating if both people derive something that they are missing, from each other. Together, a very different couple can feel more complete and therefore very attracted.

Also, when opposites become romantically involved, they can learn to appreciate the differences in each other. Sometimes it is refreshing to be in a romantic relationship with a person who has a different perspective than you on various things. For instance, if two people are looking at a picture of a sandy beach, one person may think of swimming, while the other person may think of rock and shell collecting. It is these types of differences that can make life interesting. If a person can go through life and enjoy different perspectives of the same thing they will get even more meaning out of daily life.

Even with the most opposite personality types, there needs to be some basic common things that will bring you together as a couple. Similarities and differences don’t have to be in any particular proportion for the relationship to work, but there should be a balanced blend of the two in order for the relationship to last.

Another benefit to being in love with your opposite personality type is that you can learn lots of things from each other. For example, one of you may be good at playing piano and can teach the other how to do this. While, the other person may be an excellent chess player and can share their skill with their partner. Having different interests or hobbies can mean that you have an opportunity to learn lots of new things together.

Finally, the most important thing about any relationship between opposites is that you find happiness and love together. You both need to be open minded and willing to see the world through the other’s eyes at times. People are more balanced if they have the capability of having their own perceptions on things while being open enough to appreciate the views of another person whose perception may be different. Opposites do attract and can actually enhance a person’s love life in many ways. Embrace the personality type that is right for you in an intimate, love relationship and enjoy the diversity of life and love together.

Signs of True Love

Signs of True LoveSometimes when you are in a relationship, it is difficult to really know if it is true love or not. Every relationship is so unique and different from each other, but generally speaking there are certain signs that a person can watch for, which reveal true love.

Signs of True LoveOne of the most obvious signs of truly being in love is when people smile most of the time when they are together. A happy heart brings a happy face. If a person is very happy in the presence of their partner, chances are they are truly in love. Keep in mind that this is not just any smile; this is a smile that nearly glows, which expresses peak happiness in both people.

The passage of time is another key for couples who are truly in love. Some couples might find that time stands still while they are together, when it fact, time is flying by. This whole distortion of how time is perceived is a sign of a couple being really in love. It is almost like when the couple is together; they lose track of time and practically disappear into a time zone of their own. The love time zone has no beginning or end; it is just a steady dreamlike state of mutual happiness.

Another sign of true love is when a couple makes each other their priority. There is a lot of work and other obligations, which fill up a person’s day and yet it is a good sign when couples make each other their priority. People should obviously do what they need to do for themselves, but under all this, a deep true love for their partner should be there if it is real love. Part of being in true love of course is to understand each other’s work and obligations so that a good balance is met between these things and the relationship. The key is to make time for the person that you love, as there is a time and place for everything and everyone. Those who are in true love prioritize their partner in this way.

Random acts of love and thoughtfulness are other indications of true love. When there is no special occasion and your partner does something loving or special for you, you know that it is real love. When a person goes that extra mile to express their love, it is a good thing. It does not have to involve giving materialistic gifts but it could simply be a kind and loving gesture or even a loving conversation about how they feel about you. Random acts of love and thoughtfulness could include things like bringing a rose home to you or giving you a card or taking you out for dinner. Just watch for little gestures of love that mean a lot, at times when you least expect it.

Also, you know when a person is in love when they think of you in their plans. For example, if a person is planning to go somewhere for the weekend and they ask their partner if they want to come with them. This thoughtfulness shows true love as it expresses desire for their partner to be part of their activities or time away. Little things like this mean so much!

Finally, you can feel true love in your heart when you are with the right person. Your partner’s hug, kiss and touch are unlike anything you have ever known before. There is no mistaking it when love is for real. Also, there are no doubts for true love. There is a certain mutual confidence in a relationship that is meant to be. True love is powerful and passionate!

Common Values and Goals in Relationships

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

Goals in RelationshipsAre you and your loved one on the same page when it comes to values and goals in your relationship? Sometimes it is not until after a relationship gets very involved, does a couple realize that they may not share the same values or goals. It is important at the beginning of a relationship to clearly define what matters to each of you and also what your aspirations are individually and mutually. Couples need to know that they share the same general values and also that they want the same things for the relationship in order for it to work. Let’s evaluate some of the different types of values and goals that people have and assess how these might impact the success of a relationship.

Goals in RelationshipsValues can either bring a couple together or draw them apart if they are not shared. Most people value love, devotion, honesty, integrity, family, friends etc.. On the other hand some people’s values evolve around their work or perhaps their hobbies or social activities. Whatever the case may be with each of you, it is important to define what values and goals you share, so that you can get a good idea if the relationship will work. Keep in mind that differences in interests or preferences should not be confused with differences in values and goals. If is ok to have different interests and preferences in a relationship but issues can arise if a couple are not sharing the same values or objectives in their relationship.

Let’s say that a man or woman is very family-oriented while their partner likes to go downtown all the time to drink and party. This is an obvious clash in values, which will cause a relationship to fail. Not to say that a couple can’t go out and have some good clean fun without each other sometimes, that is only natural and should happen. It is the person who goes downtown and parties all the time and gets drunk while his significant other is without them most of the time. Sometimes it is just a matter of balance between party and responsibilities, combined with showing love and respect for your partner.

On the topic of goals, many couples who are in good relationships want to eventually settle down, buy a house, get married and have a family. Mind you, there are also many relationships in which the couple may not want to marry but rather live together and maybe not have a family. It is not so much about what your goals are but rather that you have the same goals for the relationship as your partner does.

It is the situations where one person wants to marry and the other just wants to live together, which can cause issues. Also the goal of having to have children or not is a topic that a couple should agree on. It is another story, if a couple want children and just can’t have them. It such a case maybe their shared goal becomes wanting to adopt a child together. Again, the more shared goals the couple have, the better the chances of the relationship working.
