The only difference between people who have a great relationship and people who don’t, is how much you are willing to invest every day.
I remember reading something in a magazine a long time ago. It was an article about how to clean and polish various pretty things in a home. The writer said, “Owning things comes with the responsibility of taking care of them.” Relationships are not things we own, but they too come with the same responsibility. It is funny how many people are surprised that their partner moves on. It is like a tsunami comes along and wipes everything out. Yet if you are paying attention to your radar, the signs are always there. Getting comfy in receive mode can drain the life out of the relationship. In relationships where people are apart the physical space can create an emotional space. This is equally pertinent when always close together; routine in life can become routine in love. If something has value to you you will take care of it. Personally, it’s the little things that go a long way. It’s taking time every day. When we do take time and care, we remind the person we love that they are part of our daily life, even though they are not there. We invite them into our hearts and make room for them. And this, not only when there is nothing else to do or no one else to hang with. Telling someone you love them when you are lonely and telling them you love them when you are not lonely are two very different intentions. One says, “I love you.” the other says, “I am in need of you loving me.” The difference is always felt.
We all have the power to create a great love relationship in our lives. Love yourself enough to choose to create it with the people you love with each passing day.
Namaste!
