how to keep the love alive?

[crisipicada]

i would think..
talking with each other
not letting the day go by without expressing ones love and affection for eachother

Yes, that is true. Talking is one way to express love.
Love in itself grows and needs back up all the time.
When the other person don't show love then love fades.
But there are some instances that love remains.
Because love is eternal, it is forever whether you don't spend life each other.
How hurtful to love someone and end up upset.
Love needs constantly show to your partner, in action, in words and in thoughts.

To keep love alive is to do what have done during courtship. Like, to give time and effort to your partner. Serving and talking and have time for each other.

I agree with you, Fely. Love must be put into action. Love without action itself is dead.

Love is the most wonderful feeling a person could ever experience.. love..love..love.. how do we keep it more alive?
Love is shared by two people who respect each other, give more time to each other, and who truly believe and trust with each other.. Keeping the love alive is not merely in words alone.. much more in actions two people would do to compliment each other.
Listen.. listen..listen... that's the best tool to keep relationship still.. when someone is talking, somebody would listen and vice versa.. When someone is in bad mode, somebody would be calm.. Its one way of not clashing each other personality..
Give each other compliment even on simple things you see with your partner, small things maybe in your mind but more to her/him.. A simple, "nice smile!", "u look good tonight!", " ur as good as the morning!" would be a complimentary words anyone can say..
Now, what inspiring words u say to your partner? If u haven't told her/him yet, DO IT RIGHT NOW! See what will happen..

Do the usual things that you have done when you were still bf/gf relationship. Make sure that you always have time for each other and don't forget to say i love you to your partner. Love will always stay as long as you keep in touch and patch up misunderstanding. Pride will always cause separation. Keep a humble heart and accept differences.

Actions, words, and thoughts is great, contributed by Crisi. Also humility is important, and to be ready to say I am sorry, I was wrong. Being accepting of the others differences is important because all of us are different in some ways, and that is not bad.

Stop Pushing Him/Her Away
--------------------------------------------
..............................................
There are many, little things we do (consciously and unconsciously) that push our partners away. Many are afraid of intimacy and do a great deal to short circuit it. Take a little while to write down ways in which you push him/her away. This is not to blame yourself, but to become aware of the times when you are not actually inviting closeness, but putting on the brakes.

Now, decide to change the way you behave. Each day take one item on your list (the way you’ve pushed him away) and do the opposite. For example, rather than criticizing him in public, say nice things about him with friends. A few small actions can have huge effects. .

I agree with that, sometimes we don't know and unaware that what we are doing is actually pushing him/her aways instead of keeping him/her. We need t be observant and and try to put his/her shoes on us which means we try to feel that we are the one being done with the cerating thing. There are times that I am thinking and checking myself if I am not pushing him away to me. blaming will not do any good, as far as I know I think I haven't blame my special one of such bad thing happen nor him does.

Love hasn't been perfect always. Whether we will like it or not, there come the circumstances that will try to test us. The only thing we can do with it is to take our pride and try to be the one to do the first move., Waiting and waiting will not on. Yes, we do have pride but sometimes we need to place it below our heart to make it work.

It is a shame to the partner being criticized in public and that is not nice. We have to love our partner and not discriminate.
If there is something wrong with him/her why not talk to him/her in private in a nice way.

avoid finding fault, but instead be always sweet to each other and avoid provocative, ncomfortable & irrelevant discussion, like making simple issues bigger or rather complicated.

I can't be avoided that we will not find the fault and what is the cause of the problem. That is just fine as long as not ALWAYS,,hehe, I am sure the partner will understand it. There are really times, we need to tell our partner that he/she has done something wrong and at the same time we also need to admit if we have done something wrong. It is better to be sorry and trying to dominate or get angry for the mistakes having done. That will settle the problem but always hope that the two are both open minded.
