So, let’s end the confusion and take one step ahead towards making the love journey more beautiful than ever.
Lesson 1: Love is More Than Just a Feeling
“Love is not just looking at each other; it’s looking in the same direction.”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
At the outset, love may seem like a burst of emotions and butterflies. However, I’ve realized love is more than just a fleeting sentiment. It requires consistent efforts, deep understanding, and a lot of patience for quite a long time. Love is in the small gestures, the shared laughter, and the quiet moments that love truly blossoms.
Might be a bunch of roses from someone special can bring in a beautiful smile than those expensive gifts. Holding your partner’s hand, looking into the eyes, and saying those three magical words can bring in that ‘Ishq vala love’ feel and create a spark you haven’t even expected. So, don’t just feel love; express it to your partner; make efforts to keep that spark alive lifelong.
Lesson 2: Communication is the Path to the Heart
“To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.”
— David Viscott
In the dance of love, communication is the rhythm that keeps the hearts in sync. Sharing your fears, dreams, and the mundane details of your day builds a bridge between two souls. It’s not just about speaking; it’s about listening, understanding, and creating a safe space where both voices are heard and cherished.
You never know what your partner might be going through’. So, besides sharing your feelings with your partner, you must also be a good listener. Sharing feelings and listening simultaneously can resolve thousands of problems and misunderstandings in just a blink of an eye.
Lesson 3: Embrace Your Partner’s Imperfections
“We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.”
— Sam Keen
Love is a masterpiece painted with the brushstrokes of imperfections. We’re all flawed, and accepting each other’s quirks and eccentricity is the key to a harmonious connection. Celebrate the imperfections, for they are the strokes that make the canvas of love uniquely yours.
Never try to change yourself to fit in that “Picture perfect” frame or look for someone who is 100% perfect; instead, go for someone ready to accept all your imperfections. When even the beautiful moon carries blemishes, then we are only human, after all. Embrace the imperfections and let your love bloom with time.
Lesson 4: Vulnerability Strengthens Bonds
“Love is like the wind; you can’t see it, but you can feel it.”
— Nicholas Sparks
In the tapestry of love, vulnerability is one of the major threads that weaves the strongest connections. Opening up and sharing your fears and insecurities with your partner fosters a deeper understanding and trust rather than piling up everything in your heavy heart. It’s in those vulnerable moments that love gains resilience and becomes an unbreakable bond.
Sharing and conveying your thoughts and feelings is a must to let your love life be a blessing rather than a toxic relationship. You never know; sharing everything with your partner can pave a new path you’ve never thought of. So, share what you feel rather than dying deep inside and keeping everything to yourself. Sometimes, silence leads to misunderstanding, ultimately fading that love string within.
Lesson 5: Patience Can Be the Silent Gardener
“The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.”
— Audrey Hepburn
Love is a garden that requires patience. You just have to wait for the flower (love) to bloom because love flourishes when nurtured over time. Allow your love to grow organically, weathering storms and basking in the sunshine. Like a silent gardener, patience ensures a garden that blooms with everlasting beauty.
Never lose your calm too quickly; it may ruin the relationship and weaken your love bond. Stay patient and let things happen naturally. There might be situations when time will check your patience, but you must learn to withstand it while holding your partner’s hand. Rather than making decisions in the heat of the moment, stay patient, think about things happening, and then take your next step. It is better to stay silent rather than regret it later on.
Lesson 6: Find the Right Balance Between Independence and Togetherness
“Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it.”
— Rabindranath Tagore
Finding the delicate equilibrium between independence and togetherness is an art, and not every can hone that skill. While love binds, it’s crucial to retain individual identities and pursuits. Together, we soar to greater heights, but it’s the independence that adds depth and richness to our shared journey.
There are many of us who are completely dependent on our partners for everything. Maybe this is one of the major reasons of disappointment and clashes. We get so much into the love that we are ready to lose our own identity and rely on that one person for everything. It is where the problem begins and togetherness converts into irritation and endless fights. There are some steps/decisions in life that you’ll have to take all alone, so be prepared for it. Be a stronger and independent ‘YOU.’
Lesson 7: Laughter, the Glue of Love
“The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.”
— E. E. Cummings
In the symphony of love, laughter is the sweetest melody. It lightens the burdens, melts away tensions, and creates a bond that transcends the ordinary. Find joy in the simplest moments, and let laughter be the glue that holds your love story together.
Do you know what’s the first step of a stronger and happier relationship? FRIENDSHIP! If you can be each other’s best friend, you can keep your love story alive lifetime. Friends are the one with whom we can have endless laughter and fun and get rid of all the life stress. Isn’t it? And, this is what the last love lesson that I’ve learnt, i.e., laughter is the therapy to a happy and healthy relationship. When you will start finding joy in little things rather than bigger expectations, the lifetime relationship spark is all yours!
LOVE IS IN THE AIR!!!
Love is more than just a feeling or sentiment. It’s the consistent efforts and mutual understanding that act as the strong pillars to keep the love journey alive. Embracing imperfections and balancing the equation between independence and togetherness is something love is all about. Each love lesson mentioned above is a learning in itself that will help you make your bonds more stronger, lively, and happier than ever. Let your love fly high like a free bird and breathe in the fresh air that love brings within.
