| SHOWING LOVE | |
| | |
| There are many ways of showing love. And we can't demand a specific way.
Some people say 'I love you' 10 times a day. Others don't feel comfortable with words they'd much rather wash our car or mow the lawn.
There is no right or wrong way of showing love just different ways.
I had a couple in session once. And one of his big issues was: "I tell her I love her many times a day, but I never hear it from her. And I need to hear her say it to my face, that she loves me - in order to believe it. Instead she sends me messages on my cell phone, expressing her love for me. But I can't use that for anything! Why can't she say it?" This was so important to him that he was willing to risk their relationship on that one issue.
And it's true; sometimes we give love in a way that we would like to receive it, or give someone a gift that we want ourselves. Like when my dog once gave me a Christmas present; the best thing in the whole wide world: a bone!
And it's not difficult to see that 'a bone' is a token of love and appreciation, but bones don't always work.
Sometimes we need to take the time and effort to figure out what our partner wants and needs and then give it to them or do it for them. That's probably the biggest sign of love and appreciation that we can give our partner, and it is a way of creating love-bonds between us.
It's wonderful to get presents on birthdays and anniversaries etc., but sometimes there's a lot more joy in receiving a present on days, when we least expect it. On 'off' days or 'grey' days it's really what we all need sometimes. And we mustn't forget to tell them how much we love them and that we appreciate what they're doing or how they are etc.
To bring home a gift for no reason at all, just to show that we care. What can be better? Maybe doing the other person's 'duty' sometimes (wash the floors in the house mow the lawn etc.). To do unexpected favors for each other and make each other happy is what it's all about, really. We should all do it! Now!
But again we can't demand a specific way all we can do is our best and accept that our partner is doing the same. And if we are open to all the possibilities and we don't demand a certain way, we might actually see the daily expressions of love and be able to appreciate them.
When we open our minds, we'll probably see lots of signs every day |
