When two people meet
and fall in love they are planting a seed. Their love is a living entity—the
combined life force of two loving people. Their connection might bear children
or launch exciting projects. Certainly they will delight one another with
unexpected pleasures. If their love grows they will share the journey of life
together for a lifetime.
But every acorn doesn’t become an oak
tree. Even in a healthy eco-system, many seeds wither and die. We all know how
painful it can be when we lose the intimacy of a good partner. That is why we
struggle and fight to hold on to a good thing when we find it.
Oddly it is the seed that is stepped on
and driven underground that has the best chance to grow. There can never be a
great love story without contact, conflict, climax, and collaboration. The
secret of lasting love is the ability of two people to transcend tough
circumstances, and to overcome the slings and arrows of well-meaning friends
who might carelessly introduce discontent or distortion into the relationship.
Every genuine love is designed to push
upward through the dark soil and to grow and expand into the light. Two loving
people will naturally find their affection growing warmer and deeper over time.
Each desires the other, and both share a profound need to grow closer. Couples
that can remain focused on the joy and harmony they share will live lives of
loving adventure.
Growing your love requires certain
perceptual skills. Two people need to be able to gauge their compatibility
right from the beginning. They also have to be able to withstand external
conditions, such as tough economic times. Finally they will have to develop a
mutual awareness of the contagious emotions that often spread through human
communities like a virus. Outside influences are the most common threat to an
intimate bond.
True love grows in the brightness of a
light heart. Life is infinitely finer when you share it with someone who adores
and appreciates you. That is why it is so important to be able to forgive and
forget transgressions. To keep your love alive you must learn to shift your
moods and drop painful grudges instantly--before they can kill your connection.
Beware of the false storyteller in your
mind. Don’t listen to friends and family. If two people respect each other they
will find a way to listen to their hearts instead.
