Simply Sharing Our Lives With Someone We Love

 





“Even when we have no idea where we are or where we’re going, with the right map, we can find our way back to our heart and to our truest self.”


“Atlas of the Heart” by Brené Brown


Love is not something we give or get, but something that we nurture and grow! 


Love is a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them. 


The truest, and most honest, extension of love exists in the way we learn how to love ourselves, exists in the way we learn how to be compassionate towards the parts of ourselves, and our journey, that no one else claps for. 


We can only love others as much as we love ourselves. Love is about learning how to be proud of the person we are evolving into. Love is about being our own strength, being our own safe place. Love is about embracing the person we are becoming, and believing in our hearts, on even our hardest of days. Love is about finally learning how to give ourselves the same love we so beautifully give to others. Love is about embracing the beauty and the depth that exists in trying for something while we are here. Love is about honoring our hearts. Love exists in the way we fight to be here, in the way we crash our hearts into this world. 


When we truly love ourselves we are then ready to share our lives with another that truly loves themselves! (This ensures that the relationship isn’t codependent, which causes a lot of problems down the line) 


Many waist their time going after pleasure for the moment but when the moment has passed and the rush has subsided they feel unfulfilled, it isn’t enough. We need to be with another on a deeper level, truly be with them in the moment. 


To share our lives with another is one of the greatest things we will do in our lifetime so it’s extremely important to be very intentional with who we choose. If we are going to spend our lives with someone we don’t need to rush into anything we can take our time getting to know them. 


It’s also very important to be completely honest with our potential life partners from the very beginning. Simple and honest communication is key to finding a life partner that has similar Core Value as we do. 


Physical attraction is important, initially, but sharing the same Core Values will ensure the relationship will last. If our Core Values are the same everything else will fall into place in it’s own proper time. 


I have been lucky enough to have married my best friend! At times we’ve made mistakes and apologized for stupid things we’ve said and done throughout the course of our ten years of marriage but we’ve always been okay because we share the same Values, and we are both always trying to be better. 


It’s okay to make mistakes, as long as we learn from them. We’re also very different people, she’s an extrovert and I’m an introvert, but in the end we always come to a mutual understanding and that’s what truly matters. 


Remember, we came to this world to grow and to explore, and to touch the miracles and marvels of Life and Love, and we All deserve to Love and be Loved!
