True Love Advice About DramaTrue love is great for a while, then it can begin to fade. These are issues we all must face, because, unlike in romantic comedies, you don’t fall deeply in love and feel that feeling forever. It waxes and wanes, it goes away, it comes back. That’s going to happen. You can count on it. The trick is to develop habits and practices that help love to grow and sustain itself in the relationship. The more of these practices we have the better the quality of our relationship. One such powerful practice that helps keep true love alive is simply being interested “interested” in your mate on a regular and frequent basis. This may seem obvious, that all lovers are interested in their mates, so let’s go into greater detail. There are many ways to be and show interest in your mate. One way is to show interest in their daily dramas. We all have daily dramas. A daily drama could be the boss at work is getting on our case. It could be we aren’t sure the teacher for our six year old is paying enough attention to their needs. It could be that we are feeling sad and we aren’t sure why. If you are alive, you have some daily drama. That’s just the way it is. It's part of life. You are going to have some worries and concerns, some little victories and defeats, each day or week of your life. Well, to help keep true love alive, you simply need to pay attention to your partner’s daily dramas. Find out what they are worried or concerned about. Know what victory or successes that are striving for, what failures they are seeking to avoid. Next, chat with them every day about those things. This is called “small talk.” Ask your mate about how the boss treated him or her today, did it get better or worse? Ask about how the teacher dealt with your child over the homework issue. Studies have actually shown that the more small talk there is in a marriage, the happier the couple is. So being interested in your mate may sound like a small, obvious thing that you are already doing, but many of us over time stop checking in on the little things, and having small talk about them. Show continuing interest in the daily ups and downs of your partner, discuss them frequently, and you can help keep true love alive between you over the years. True Love Action Plan: 1. Notice the daily dramas of your partner. Talk to him or her about the issues they face. 2. Share yours with your partner as well. 3. Small talk helps keep true love alive. Remember, true love is your birthright. It is
what we all deserve. You don't have to wait for it, you don't have to
have the perfect lover. You can bring it. You can start loving
the people around you as they are. Allow the people in your life to be
the way they are, and the way they are NOT, and you begin to step into the
possibilities of generating more true love.
