BONDS OF LOVE !

To sustain a human relationship requires a lot of effort on the part of both the partners involved. And to ensure that your relationship continues, you need to work towards it. Here’s how you can do it: Be intimate psychologically by sharing your innermost experiences and deepest feelings with the person you love. Maintain physical intimacy. Express your feelings of love. You could hug and kiss in private and hold hands in public. Talk and discuss each day about your ‘other lives’ that includes your work, your families, your hobbies, and any other areas of life you may not always experience together. Have a sense of humour. Make each other laugh – it helps a relationship grow. Try to express love in ways your partner considers important. Some need to see proof of love (for example, gifts or things you do); some need to hear proof of love (saying ‘I love you’, etc); some need to feel the proof of love through hugs and kisses. Tell your partner which of these you prefer. Both of you should make a list of things the other can do to reinforce the feeling of being cared for. Do at least one thing on your lover’s list every day. View the flaws you see in your lover as coal that hasn’t yet turned into diamond. Don’t plan or hope to change a thing. If you can’t accept that ‘what you see is what you get’, leave the relationship before it’s too late.
