My own knowledge about true love will define something here, like a mother's love for her newborn, an animal's love towards humans, or the true love between brothers and sisters before marriage. When it comes to a couple's relationship, it's about caring, understanding, sharing every feeling, supporting each other even during difficulties, and having a soft spot for one another. A deep connection that lasts long. How do you know if you are really in love or if it's just an attraction? Let's discuss this in detail in this article.
Most people falling in love, especially younger adults or those in the minor age group, find that love is just a feeling of attraction. This attraction lasts for a shorter period, fulfills bodily needs, and after that, the relationship often ends. During this period, if a third person enters the relationship, it usually doesn't last long. It's not true love.
What
is True Love?
True
love builds on three pillars: Respect, Truth, and Understanding. True love
doesn’t expect anything from you in return, and there are no criteria or
guidelines for the relationship. One more thing each partner expects is that
you are mine and will always remain mine.
Unlike
attractions, true love involves supporting each other at every point in life.
Mutual Respect:
Give
respect and take respect. Respect is the basic building block of any pure
relationship. True love is characterized by the growth of each other's careers,
respecting and appreciating one's opinions and emotions. Always respect your
partner's boundaries; don’t overemphasize your partner. Give him or her
personal space. (This doesn’t mean cheating or enjoying oneself and not
bothering about the partner.)
Trust and Honesty:
Trust
and honesty are the pillars of a true relationship. Without these, just as we
can’t build a strong house, a relationship also doesn’t last long and keeps
shaking whenever any difficulty arises. Trust is built over the years through
transparency and open communication. To maintain a healthy relationship, share
each and every point related to your life, even if it may be a bitter truth.
Understanding and Empathy:
A
house needs walls to be complete. Similarly, understanding and kindness are
required for true love. It means putting yourself in your partner’s shoes to
feel all the pain and joy he or she is going through. True love is really
special to acquire into your life; it's like giving yourself completely to your
partner. A warm hug on a cold night is the feeling of true love.
Here are some signs that you might have found true love:
Effortless
Communication: When you fall in love with someone, you communicate from the
soft corner of your heart. It feels like a cold wind entering inside. No one is
there to judge you at any point; you can express your feelings as you like.
Feeling
at Home: When you are with your love, you always feel safe and comfortable.
Without any fear, you communicate with him completely. True love is not easy to
find, but if you find it, it's worth fighting for him or her.
Quality
Time: Spending quality time together is very important for maintaining a strong
bond. Whether it’s a simple evening walk, candlelight dinner, or tea time,
these short times play a crucial role in nurturing true love.
Managing
Expectations: Never compare your relationship with others; unrealistic
expectations create a negative impact on relationships. In this world, no one
is perfect; everyone has some drawbacks. So, focus only on the positive aspects
of your relationship and enjoy it.
Nurture
True Love: True love is not a railway station or bus stop; once you build it,
it continues for years. Rather, love is a train or bus that moves from one
place to another. Similarly, love is a journey that will strengthen over time
with nurturing and growth. As time passes, understand and adapt to the behavior
of your partner and keep improving it.
Appreciation
and Gratitude: Always express gratitude for your partner and strengthen the
bond more. Appreciate each other for even little things, and celebrate all
moments together.
I
am writing this article based on my own experience. I had words with many boys,
but one day I found someone who was the true love of my life. It really took a
long time to understand him. He is with me currently, and I can say that he is
the only one present in this world. Despite my madness and many mistakes, he
explains everything to me and treats me like I am his small daughter. Now, I
have the capability to define what true love is and what attraction is,
learning more about him.
Conclusion:
True
love is really great; it changes you completely from the inside out. You start
seeing the world from your partner’s eyes. And if you really try once, you will
feel amazing. It’s not about finding the perfect person in life; it’s all about
how you treat your partner. For example, in my case, I am imperfect, but he is
perfect in all aspects of life. By understanding each other and maintaining
transparency between yourselves, you can create your own heaven on this earth.
True love is a dance of mutual growth, where both partners grow and change
together.
True
love not only makes you grow, but it also binds the whole family together. Just
think of your in-laws as your own family and remove the word 'in-laws.' Treat
them as you had treated your family before marriage. This will also help to
strengthen your relationship with your partner.
