Do you really love your partner……unconditionally?
Posted by taylor | Under family Monday Aug 1, 2011Do you really love your partner……unconditionally?
The love word is bandied about these days with abandon. I am of the firm belief that the majority of people are not in touch with what this really means; the separation and divorce stats as well as the number of unhappy relationships support this.
Why is this? My view on this is that people are basing their relationships on shaky foundations, a conditional love. A conditional love as it describes is based on set of conditions that are formed by an individual under which they will love someone and therefore commit to them. Typical conditions would be expectations of how someone looks, how they behave, how they make you feel, how successful they are etc, etc. Note the language in that it is all based on a conditional model that is formed. Modern society does not help as it has encourages high expectations of what one should expect and what you deserve from a partner.
The problem with this type of love is that conditions change, people change, we all face challenges and scenarios which show us in a different light.
True love is based on unconditional love which is based demonstrated in many parent/child relationships, but is rare in adult/adult relationships. It is unconstrained and unrelenting in its strength no matter what happens.
So questions yourself on the conditions you set on your partner in order for you to love them and look to rise above this to something much deeper
