Relationships are work and dedication. While everyone wants to experience the “truth”, everyone is not always ready to peacefully journey toward a fulfilling relationship. Those who are successful in their partnerships are those who have learned how to keep it fresh, exciting, mysterious, and ultimately authentic. While there are many ways to rekindle romance and passion, there is also a need to reacquaint yourself with Love itself and the true commitment it holds. Here is a list of 5 keys to renewing, through strength, your relationship so that your relationship with your lover is anchored at the deepest core and blossoms through the finest colors.
1). Connection
Look for a sense of connection that goes beyond shared hobbies, culture or interests. Become interested in the essence of what unites the two of you. Imagine you have nothing to share but yourself, how will your truth nourish your significant other? The sense of connection is the most important part of your love life. While your mind may be distracted in insignificant temporary activities, your heart yearns for true likeness. It seeks important memories where it can fully appreciate Life in its purest form.
2). Presence
The Sense of Presence must be practiced thoroughly in a relationship to want to know Love while it may remain wordless, distant or unshown. Too often lovers expect something in return, hard evidence or concrete evidence from their lover. While attention is welcomed, true love exists in the simple fact that it is, has been and is forever no matter what one does. Lovers who want to expand their sense of community and unity must be willing to rely on their sense of knowledge more than their list of reasons and arguments.
3). Mystery
Love is everywhere, but it is very interesting when it has to be brought from the unknown. Exploring new sides of oneself allows one to broaden one’s own experiences and ultimately bring something new to relationships. While it may be seen as a way to disrupt relationships at first, it will eventually bring them back together as duality triggers a pendulum process for us to find our true center.
4). Simplicity
A lasting relationship has a simple recipe: listen, respect, accept, understand, trust. While these may seem obvious when they are written down, they become the real difficulty when they are experienced. The renewal of a relationship lies more in deepening what is the essence of a relationship than what beautifies it when leveled on the surface. Seek simplicity in the moment and reconnect with the essence of love which requires nothing but the will to exist.
5). Carpe Diem
A lasting relationship implies two beings who are in constant change and who adapt endlessly. In the end they are two strangers who are systematically learning how to readjust their sense of self while maintaining a sense of coexistence with one another. This process requires a conscious will and a dedicated quest to value Life in this moment with gratitude. Lovers seeking a relationship based on sacred connection must invite the mind to surrender control and learn to surrender to the beauty of the moment. This surrender is a realization of the fleeting nature of life and a reminder of the importance of the present. There Love is expressed in its purest and most authentic form.
