My husband and I have a relationship that many admire. To see us, you know we are deeply, and intimately in love. You know I am “Bonnie” to his “Clyde.” We are often told by people who see many couples that we are they one they appreciate the most. Simply because of how we treat each other. (Yes, sad to hear stories of lack of love and respect in public!)
We aren’t perfect! That’s not real. We fight. Like ugly when it happens. And in 20 years we have had low, low times of hurt.
We believe in commitment and working through everything. And we know one thing to be true to have an intimate, deep, loving relationship.
You must be vulnerable and express emotion to truly find love. You must express it ALL. You must also allow your partner the same. We truly learned how to do this at a low, low point. We had to find a safe space to ask and answer honestly. A place where we wouldn’t start fighting!
If you don’t have intimate love yet, you still have to be vulnerable enough to express love. To be love. That’s how you receive love. That’s how intimate love happens.
