Love Advice On True Love

True love is what everybody wants in their relationship. We all have intimacy needs and we all want true love. We hope for it and work hard to find the right relationship so we can have it. Then, when we get into a relationship, it feels great at first. We often feel some stirrings of true love. But over time, the longer we are together, it seems like true love starts to slip away some. The person who felt so right in the beginning can start to feel less right after a while.

Keeping true love is much harder than finding it, isn’t it? If not, we’d still be with our first high school crush. So what can you do to keep true love? There are many things.

The first thing is to realize that there are phases to all relationships. The honeymoon "there's only you" phase will not last. The next phase is the me/us period, where separation and getting on with your own goals starts to become important. But true love isn't gone in this phase, it just changes its feel.

Another thing that is vital to understand with true love is that it is about giving as well as receiving. You have to give your time and loving attention to your mate regularly. And your mate has to give some loving attention to you. You can’t keep true love if you are doing all the giving or all the receiving.

A third important factor to keeping true love alive is simple yet very powerful. This factor is PLAY. The more you play with your mate, the closer and more intimate you will feel. Too often the burdens of adulthood take over our lives and we forget to make time to play with our mate.

Do you play with your mate on a regular basis? Do you spend some time doing things together that you both enjoy? Do you have a date night once a week? Research has shown that the more play the less conflict between partners. So focus on play and reap the rewards.

True love, then, requires some focus and attention. If you do not give up when things get tough, if you give some time and attention to play in your relationship, you can actually keep true love alive. That and keep learning more about it and you can keep it alive with your mate. You can get more How To Get help on fixing relationship problems here.

So here is an Action Step for you: Do a play check. How much are you playing with your mate on a weekly basis? Are you playing in bed or does it seem to be getting mechanical? What do you do outside the bedroom that you both enjoy? It doesn't take much, but figure out how to be playful for 5 minutes or so a day with your mate and see what happens to your experience of true love.

There are entire books that can be written about each of these topics, so this is obviously just an introduction, but these are a great place to start to improve your love relationship and the experience of intimacy for both of you. More Love Help here.
