Deep and lasting love takes work, like anything else that is splendid.
Love is work but the work of two Gods building something great together. Greatness comes from achieving depth not seeking endless variety. The deeper you see into each other’s Souls, the the more profound your love.
Love is the work of beginning a relationship with forty percent harmony and awakening to each other so that some day, you will share eighty percent of life.
Love is the work of paying attention to the other–the other’s aspirations, needs, disappointments, favorite friends, and past times. Attention is the most romantic force in the world. Attention carries with it the Life Force that gives life. Whatever and whomever you place your loving attention on, will prosper and blossom.
Love is the work of maintaining each of your healthy boundaries while your two souls merge in trust.
Love is the work of being delighted for each other’s happiness and victories, even if that means sacrificing some of your wishes. Love is the work of providing space and freedom for the other to flourish.
Love is the work of each of you facing your fears as well as the demons that threaten the very bond of your love.
Know that every demon that you face will vanish.That is the law of nature as love is the essence of existence.
Blessings to you,
