How to Make True Love Last
How to Make True Love Last
Understanding how and why we establish a fantasy attachment might provide many explanations to why love fades. The imagination relationship is the ultimate anti-love defense. Even after we've let down our guard and allowed ourselves to fall in love, if we're afraid of losing our partner or of changing our old, familiar identity, we can use a fantasy connection to keep the appearance of not being alone while maintaining emotional distance from our companion. To prevent forming a fantasy relationship, we should avoid the traits described above as well as do the measures indicated below.
Breaking a fantasy attachment and being more loving:- Be empathetic.
Look for even the tiniest opportunities to establish touch and express warmth and desire.- Slow down and be present in the moment.
Make time to truly listen and chat to your mate.
- Make eye contact with the other person.
It may appear easy, yet we frequently overlook the importance of just looking at our companion.- Try something from the past.
Make time for each other and don't quit doing the things you used to like doing together.
- Experiment with fresh ideas.
Don't get stuck in a rut. Continue to offer new activities and be receptive to those suggested by your companion.- Break the mold.
If your enthusiasm is dwindling because you're doing the same thing again and over, consider breaking the habit and allowing room for spontaneity.- Passivity and control should be avoided.
Make an effort to have an equitable exchange of opinions. Don't try to dominate your spouse; instead, take responsibility for your own behavior.- Instead of using the word "we," use the word "I."
Remember that you will always be two distinct persons, and that crossing boundaries will reduce attraction.- Recognize and acknowledge your critical inner voice
We all have an inner adversary that judges us and our partners and destroys our most intimate connections.- Do something on your own.
You don't have to do everything together just because you're a relationship. Don't give up connections or activities you like on your own, and don't expect your spouse to do the same.- Communicate what you feel.
You may avoid passive-aggressive or harsh ways of connecting by saying what you want and feel directly. It also motivates your spouse to follow suit.- Avoid the mindset of "tit for tat."
Love is a personal decision that each of us must make. Instead of being in touch with how amazing it feels to love someone else, we develop expectations and generate resentment when we start quantifying what we do for one other.- Support the activities that make your partner happy.
Never stop supporting and encouraging your spouse to be the most alive he or she can be and to do the things that make him or her feel most like themselves... even if those things aren't the most important to you.- Take steps that your lover would consider lovely.
Make certain that the things you do are things that are important to your partner. You may enjoy receiving flowers, but do you think it would make your spouse feel loved?- Don't close yourself off.
It's all too easy to shut down when we're ashamed, scared, disappointed, or upset by our spouse, but we must struggle to avoid being shut down and pushing away the love that comes our way.
