You become a lover when you understand all of this, waking up each day filled with gratitude that you have another twenty four hours in which
to love and enjoy each other. Should you or your partner forget that your relationship is a gift, when you no longer remember to cherish
one another, that's when you cease being lovers.
There is little worse than being in a relationship and no longer feeling like lovers. There is little more sorrowful than realising that you
love someone but you don’t feel “in love” anymore. What once was a blissful joyful experience now feels empty. You may sleep together,
share a home and family together, but that bond of ecstasy you once revelled in, may have faded or even disappeared. Falling out of love
happens gradually over time as a result of one or both of you taking the other for granted, when either or both of you stopped thinking
and acting like the lovers you once were.
In order to remain lovers, you need to create and preserve the precious moments in your relationship. Couples that fall apart, often take for
granted the true beauty that exists with their partner, overlooking the conscious need to express kindness and most importantly, because they don’t
make time to experience the precious moments that love is all about.
Contrary to popular mythology, love is made, it doesn’t just happen. The expression “making love” doesn’t just apply to sex. It has a more
significant meaning, in the sharing of precious moments. Paying conscious attention, showing affection and appreciation, displaying
understanding, respect and true friendship and keeping passion alive, are essential elements in the making of love and the ongoing
maintenance of a loving relationship.
Precious moments are created when you and your partner are totally focused on each other, loving one another in the moment with open hearts, experiencing the joy of
the love that you share. When both hearts are open in this way, there is a connection of love between you that forges a wonderful bond. Precious moments are not just
for the bedroom. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, it’s the level of attention you demonstrate to what you are experiencing that defines it as a precious moment.
When you don't share enough real moments with one another, you starve the soul of the relationship. You can spend every minute in each other's presence,
but unless you are consciously experiencing some precious moments, you won't ever truly be together.
Precious moments teach you to pay attention with your heart, to start being right here, right now, IN THE MOMENT. It is those real moments that will
ultimately give depth and meaning to your relationship, and keep you feeling eternally in love.
The Loving Look
He sleeps next to you, has sex with you, eats with you, sometimes looks at you but doesn't really look into you. He sees your face, but doesn't know how you’re
feeling. He sees your body, but doesn't see your spirit. . . . When your partner looks at you with a loving look, you will feel more completely loved than if he gave
you any gift, more beautiful any words he could say . . .
Loving Your Partner with Words
The words you use will create either a receptive or a resistant response. The right words can talk to her body until it opens for you like a flower. The right words Page332
can make her feel swollen with desire, smile with delight and cry with happiness. You have the power to make her feel so safe, so understood, that all her old
