Rekindle Your Love - Dare to Love Completely By Bman | 11-11-2008 http://www.onlinedatingcode.com

I'll admit it; I still hold the "Dove Chocolates" wrapper, it sits in a tiny frame above my desk in my office. I read it often and try to live by it, "Dare to Love Completely" the tiny foil wrapper commands.

How often in our relationships do we fall short of this ideal? When our heart tells us one thing and our head leads us to respond differently, is there a better way? There is better way, dare to love completely and rekindle your love.

Let's begin by taking an honest look at our current relationships. Why were we attracted to this person in the very beginning? Recall the feelings that first brought you together, recreate them, relive them, feel the bliss you have long since forgotten and share it with your mate.

Over the years perhaps we've discovered shortcomings that we were not aware of previously. I've always enjoyed the wisdom of a young pastor in Houston, Texas by the name of Joel Osteen. In his words, "be grateful for the shortcomings of your mate, for it is those things that have kept them from finding a better partner". Appreciate them for who they are and know that you won't change them.

Take time to appreciate what your partner or spouse does well and acknowledge these things. So often we lose our focus or shift it to negative attributes when we should be accepting of who we've chosen to spend our time with. Remind them of why you're together and what you appreciate about them.

Know what makes them tick. Gary Chapman wrote a wonderful book, "The Five Love Languages". Each of us has a primary love language. If we speak our language to a partner who has a different primary love language it is much like speaking Swahili to someone who has never heard anything but English in their life. Take the time to know your partner or spouse and pay attention to the details.

Always be true to yourself. Find your own inner strength and be willing to communicate and ask for what you need. None of us are attracted to someone who appears weak or needy. Be the attractive you that you deserve to be.

With strength comes the question of transparency and expectations. Expectations will always lead to disappointment. If we are careful to communicate our needs and desires with our partners or spouse we will become transparent and our needs and desires will be openly understood and they will begin to manifest in ways we never thought possible.

Begin every day and end every day with your partner or spouse by your side whenever possible. Always express gratitude for all that you are, all that you have, all that you share and all that you are meant to be.

I do, I dare you, to love completely.
