"I dream of a love that is more than two people craving to possess
one another. I dream of a love in which two people share
a passion to search together for some higher truth."
Irvin D. Yalom
There are numerous ways to love with varying degrees of intensity and diverse intentions for outcome. It is through relationship that love is experienced whether distracting or enhancing. Perhaps it is with age that we learn the importance of a balanced foundation for love to grow while supporting each individual.
When infatuation lessens and the excitement of newness dims, a couple spends less time facing each other and more time facing the future. If we begin to use our voice and fully listen, a pattern is created that will help to sustain a sense of togetherness. It is not as easy to lose secure footing when the original platform was securely established.
With an awareness of what each partner desires, a couple moves forward. With balance, two people experience a tandem of movement whether separate or in union. Individual diversity feeds the joint adventure and creates curiosity to stimulate and strengthen bonds. By feeding each other, love grows.
