"Love demands all, and has a right to it." - Beethoven
One definition of love is unselfish, loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another. Love requires that we are liberal in giving our very best. Love summons us to be steadfast and unwavering in our commitment. Love asks us to perform acts of goodwill. We have a right to a relationship in which our beloved sees our desires as important as their own.
Our tendency is to think we know what is good for our partner. We give generously of our advice, attempting to rescue our mate from their challenges. How do we know what would help our companion feel loved unless we ask?
One of the best problem solving tools is to ask questions rather than giving all of the answers. As we help our loved one clarify what they want, they are on the road to getting it.
Experiment: Ask "What is really important to you? Mirror, focusing on desires. Then ask, "What can I do to help make that happen?" Mirror and commit to giving a gift of love.
Affirmation: I am giving my all to my beloved.
