Loving Someone

Written by: Jephthah

Some say that love is like a river that never ceases in flowing.

Others say: love knows no limits and reaches no boundaries.

Love also goes the distance and doesn’t expire in time.

Love mends and heals the hearts of people.

Love is not reserved only for the lucky, but is given to those who are strong.

Some also say that love is likened to a razor that cuts deeper into a wounded heart.

Love is fragile and yet it’s strength goes against all odds.

For those who are in love, they are seen as having the wings of an angel.

Love embraces and showers areas of dryness in your life.

And that your soul will be filled with strength, because of love.

But love is also a hunger, a never ending thirst that everyone desires.

Love is tender and sweet.

It is this Love builds a bridge between you and me.

The love between Adam and Eve

It is said in Genesis that God saw Adam was alone and needed a helper. Thus God took a out a piece of rib from Adam and breathed life into it. God created Adam a partner through a miracle. This helper of his is the world’s most beautiful creation besides Adam himself. Adam’s new partner is a wonderful addition to his life. His helper is a woman created by God. Adam named his partner Eve and fell in love with her. To Adam, Eve is the most beautiful partner he ever had and he is the luckiest man on earth. To Eve, Adam is the most charming partner and she had fallen head over heels in love with him.

For a relationship to be long lasting, both parties have to give in to each other. Love can bring about healing in each others life. Love is never selfish and therefore it is a responsibility that both parties have to shoulder. Love is not all about getting, but truly it is about giving to each other unconditionally.

1. Don’t make empty promises

Never ever let your promises go unfulfilled. When you want promise your lover something, make sure that you make realistic promises that you can achieve. Discipline yourself to make sure that you fulfill it; whatever it may cost to you. It will be better if not to say a thing rather than breaking the promise that you had made.

2. Say sentences like “you are so beautiful”

It is very important that in a relationship, both parties compliment one another. Never be too shy to say words that sound mushy. Being shy builds an unnecessary barrier in a relationship. When you truly love someone, never hold back yourself in expressing your gratitude of love. I am sure that your partner will be touched if you take a step to say how much you love him or her. Be bold, and be of good courage: say something nice today.

3. Give him or her a warm hug

Feel free to express your love by giving each other a hug. Imagine you just had a warm embrace from your partner, how wonderful would that have felt? Now if you can be the one to give that embrace to someone you love, how great will that be! Love sometimes have to be tender. Love must be able to be felt not just by feeling alone, love needs to be experienced physically. Thus a warm embrace will be a good way for your partner to feel loved.

4. Having a contagious smile

Smiling is a good and healthy way to add spice in a relationship. A smile can soften a person’s heart. A smile to someone can brighten his or her day. Smiling is polite and it makes the person feel appreciated and welcomed. Do smile often to your partner!

5. Let each other have a room to share

Sometimes in a conversation, are you usually the one who talks for most of the time? If that’s the case, you might need to tone down and listen to your partner about what he or she has to share. If your partner is an introvert in nature, you can encourage him or her to share by starting conversations in the areas that he or she is comfortable and familiar with. For example, you can ask your partner about his or her hobbies and get the ball rolling with the topic that your partner is familiar with.

6. Be humorous

A relationship that is always predictable isn’t healthy sign. Without a sense humor , the relationship can be stale and boring. In a healthy relationship, it is also vital to be creative and funny. Humor is a good way to let relationships blossom. It is recommended that you make some effort to tell jokes and tease your partner. A relationship that is humorous adds flavor and life to love. Humor can brighten up a person’s day too.

7. Strengthening starts with common grounds

I am pretty sure that you and your partner have common grounds like sharing the same hobbies and interest together. I recommend that you to find out what your partner have in common and make some effort to enforce it. Take some time to go out with your partner, do activities like playing a sport, go shopping or catch a movie together.

8. Sacrifice is necessary

Occasionally love requires you to give in more than your partner. You have to let go of certain things that are important to you. Lets say your partner hates smoking and it happens that you are a heavy smoker, you may need to start taking action and quit smoking. Are you able to sacrifice for your love? If you stumble upon this question, then you may need to reevaluate how deeply you love your partner.

Are you ready for love?

Love is a beautiful gift. It knows no boundaries. For those of you who had tasted love before but wasn’t successful, do not be disheartened. Take courage and give love a try again.

Love is unconditional and it is pure.

Love shines light to our lives and gives us the courage to do the impossible.

Love is something we simply find it hard to live without.

God intended for both men and woman to be united as one. Loving somebody is a wonderful journey that takes you and your partner into a perfect union. Having a partner in life is very important, you’ll have somebody to share your joys, visions and dreams with. You can also find refuge when you are bogged down by troubles.

Love is not only about having fun and joy all the time, but in times of trouble love can protect and heal the brokenness. The beauty about love is that both you and your partner develops a dependency towards each other, whereby both of you will need each others strength to overcome obstacles in life. Such dependency are also needed in the areas of emotion and security, whereby both parties fulfill each others needs. It is and had definitely been God’s original intention to give Adam a helper to assist him in his destiny. Thus having a partner in your life also helps you to fulfill your destiny, be it your dreams and goals in life.

So now you have read my little article about love.

Let me ask you a question: are you already in a relationship? If you aren’t in love, do you have someone in mind?

Are you ready to LOVE SOMEONE?

  • One of the key ingredients for love in a relationship is conscious choice. On the scale of priority, how important it is to you? When you can say that your spouse is #1 or ranks highly, then the rest of the things you need to do follows easily eg. like giving hugs, smiles, etc.

    In my case, I wouldn’t say that it is important to develop a “dependency” on my husband. I don’t want to depend on him for how I am feeling each day. I just need him to be able to support my hopes and dreams, which incidentally are in alignment to the needs of my family.

  • Hi Evelyn!

    Thanks for sharing your insight on this post. I agree with your point of view. I have something to share as well. I felt that when he or she is down emotionally, the partner can help by giving words of encouragements, moral support and assistance. In such a way it builds a healthy platform for a relationship to nurture. In a sense, it bonds couple closer! : )

  • Hey … great list. All valuable points. I am in a relationship. And I have learnt that love is acceptance - to love someone the way he is and the way he is not.
