When you allow her to see you for who you really are right now, you become less afraid that you will be rejected in the future. When she accepts and loves
you unconditionally, you know you will never have to hide in the relationship in the future.

To have inner peace it is necessary to be consistently loving in what you think, in what you say and in what you do. Think thoughts of love. Speak words of
love. Demonstrate unconditional love for her in all that you do.

Openness means being willing to communicate your deepest feelings. There can be no intimacy without conversation. The only way you can both truly
communicate is to tell the truth. Truthful communication moves love partners and creates a condition of unity, love and satisfaction.

For intimacy to grow in a healthy love relationship there can be no withholding; feelings - both positive and negative - must be shared equally between love
partners. The act of withholding the truth is always potentially a lie.

The energy required for the self-discipline of honesty is far less than the energy required for withholding. Your love partner and you are dedicated to the truth
and live in the open, and through the exercise of your courage to live in the open, we become free from fear. Fear cannot exist whenever insight is valued
above feeling frightened.

Listen when she shares without making judgment. Your heart should always be open to hear what your love partner has to say.

Someone said that it is possible to be together so much that we suffocate each other. Perhaps. you do not allow this to happen in your love relationship.
Understand that love includes letting go when she needs freedom; holding her close when she needs care. Commit to creating space in your relationship
when needed.

Learn to cherish both intimacy and solitude. Never feel tied to each other.

Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade. ~ Leo Buscaglia

At the heart of love, there is a simple secret: the lover lets the beloved be free. You and your love partner require different mixes of independence and
mutuality, and the mix is freely discussed and renegotiated from time to time when necessary.
When two people in a love relationship are complete within themselves they do not experience the love they have for others as diminishing, detracting, or
threatening to the love they share. They are secure within the relationship.

Insecurities bring forth jealousy, which, in effect, is a cry for more love. It is within your rights to ask for more affection when self-doubts surface, however,
the indirect way that jealousy asks for it is counterproductive. Excessive possessiveness is inappropriate. Jealousy is the surest way to drive away the very Page351
person you may fear losing.
