Staying in love

Love is a complex and multi-faceted emotion that can be experienced and expressed in many different ways. It is often described as a feeling of strong affection, care, and concern for someone, and can be romantic or platonic in nature. Love can be driven by many factors, including a person's values, experiences, and relationships. It is typically characterized by feelings of warmth, tenderness, and joy, as well as a strong desire to be close to and take care of the loved one.

Love is also an action, not just a feeling. People often express love through their words and behaviors, such as showing kindness, offering support, and making sacrifices for the benefit of the loved one. Love can also be demonstrated through physical touch, such as hugging, kissing, and holding hands.

Love can have a profound and positive impact on a person's life, bringing joy, happiness, and fulfillment. At the same time, love can also bring challenges and difficulties, especially when it comes to maintaining a healthy relationship. Nevertheless, many people believe that the challenges of love are outweighed by its benefits and that love is one of the most important and rewarding aspects of life.

The Law of Attraction is a popular New Thought concept which holds that positive or negative thoughts bring corresponding experiences into a person's life. The basic idea is that thoughts and feelings can attract and create physical experiences in the real world.

Proponents of the Law of Attraction believe that by focusing on positive thoughts and feelings, people can bring about positive experiences, such as success, wealth, health, and happiness. On the other hand, focusing on negative thoughts and feelings is thought to attract negative experiences.

The concept has been widely popularized in recent years through books, workshops, and other media, and is often associated with the concept of manifestation and the idea that people have the power to create their own reality through their thoughts and beliefs.

It's important to note that the Law of Attraction is not scientifically proven and there is limited empirical evidence to support its claims. Some people find it to be a helpful tool for personal growth and development, while others are skeptical of its effectiveness. Ultimately, it's up to each individual to decide whether the Law of Attraction aligns with their personal beliefs and whether it has been helpful to them in their life.

When relationships lose their magic, couples often look for a way to shake things up – maybe a big trip or a new experience to add a spark to their love life. If the couple’s foundation is strong and they still feel emotionally connected, these small changes can work. But too often, couples are past such quick fixes. Even when an infusion of excitement helps them to connect, it lasts no more than a moment. They soon return to daily life, and the distance that has become part of their relationship is all too apparent. To truly close the gap and maintain closeness, it’s essential that couples regularly nurture a sense of intimacy.

The natural connection that you can see in some long-time couples is grown from years of nurturing. Repetitive, small gestures of caring keep them close as they grow together. Some ways to express your love in such simple acts are:

Saying, “I love you.”

Being physically affectionate, such as by offering hugs or holding hands

Taking care of your children so that your spouse can stay in bed a little longer

Giving a small “just-because” gift

Buying your spouse their favorite foods to keep in the house

When your spouse is struggling, doing the chores that would otherwise fall on their shoulders

Asking how you can help when your spouse is having a tough day (or just a regular day)

The list goes on. There are infinite possibilities. And, as you can see, these are all everyday ways you can express your love. But for these gestures to be effective, you must be careful about what you offer and how you offer it. Making your partner coffee each morning is kind. But always putting milk in it when their preference is to take it black might be more annoying than endearing. Similarly, asking about your partner’s day when they are going through a tough time at work is supportive. But throwing out the question while perusing your phone isn’t nearly as effective as asking with concern and undivided attention.

Regular loving acts make your relationship a truly safe, comforting, and loving “home.” As long as these small gestures are a part of your daily life, you might want to occasionally add some excitement with a grand gesture. Throw a big surprise party. Plan a trip to a country your spouse has always wanted to visit. Or, buy your spouse that expensive watch they’ve always wanted. Like the crescendo of explosions at the end of a fireworks show, these over-the-top expressions of love can add excitement to an already wonderful relationship.
