One common theme is that Conflicts arise when visions diverge. In the words of Tony Robbins notes, growth begins when both partners define what they want to achieve: compassion, adventure or co-support.

Consider this on your desires: Do you desire affection, a sense of fun or the strength to help each other in their independent pursuits?

The rhythms of your life are important. Set aside a recurring ritual--like a casual Tuesday date night--to celebrate your partnership. Small rituals add a sense of unity to your week.

True love is when you fall in love with the same person over and again. Each discovery is a creative act that demands focus.

Knowing the Many Facets of Love

The ancient Greek philosophers identified love as seven different forms: eros anagape, philia and storge as well as ludus, pragma and the philautia. Not every moment of an intimate relationship is filled with eros but sometimes the constant tones of friendship or selfless love shine more clearly.

Be aware of the changing patterns of love from the earliest beginnings to enduring, practical harmony. Recognizing the different types of love invites gratitude for each stage.

Quiet Love, Lasting Fire

Some relationships begin slowly and slowly, with a delicate blend of trust and friendship. There's no need to be constantly bursting with flashes of fireworks. The subtle gradations of intimacy can be equally powerful.

As the years progress the years pass, re-discovering your partner can add freshness and warmth. Simple smiles or gesture could suddenly feel new (and isn't it amazing? ).

Bonus: Reignite, Repeat

True love is, as the saying goes is a series of deliberate choices to choose your partner over and over again. Kindness can rekindle a habit that might otherwise diminish. Even the smallest, refined gestures - words and glances, or actions--can increase continuity and build confidence in all seasons.

Every relationship is unique, and the pleasure lies in carefully nurturing your shared story through love and attention as well as the desire to continue to discover.
