When love is real, it’s patient, understanding, and kind.
Sometimes, love is right in front of you. You feel an intense connection with someone,
but you are not sure if this connection is fleeting or if it will blossom into long-lasting
love.
This blog will show you what true love looks like and how you can navigate your way
through it.
Three Powerful Ways True Love Changes Your Life
1. You Heal from Past Traumas
Trauma is often tied to the present inability to move forward in a healthy romantic
relationship.
Past traumatic events such as toxic relationships, divorce, loss, or a physical accident
may result in carrying unseen wounds.
True love consoles you when you have a traumatic breakdown without passing judgment
on your vulnerabilities. It also encourages and supports you in your efforts to heal your
wounds.
With the right guidance and true love, you can conquer your traumas and lead a
contented life.
2. You Have a Constant Support
True love provides a safe environment for self-expression.
Your partner patiently listens to you and comprehends your emotions. They also try to
protect you from any harm.
In true love, you are never alone because there's someone in your corner who will be there for you, no matter what.
3. You Experience the Brighter Side of Life
True love is peaceful. It makes you happy and confident on the inside.
You suddenly get the strength and support to do all those things that you previously
avoided—perhaps taking on an ambitious project, trying something new and inspiring,
or making a career switch.
It prepares you to accept yourself and your surroundings and live a positive life.
Potential Stressful Situations in True Love
1. Communication Gaps
Sometimes, you won’t feel understood by your partner or you won’t be able to connect
with what your partner is saying.
Communication gaps happen in all relationships, let alone true love. This is because you
both have individual identities and you can both be on different pages.
2. Sexual Issues or Complexities
Getting intimate is a sensitive and beautiful act of expressing love.
But, sometimes, keeping unrealistic sexual expectations or ignoring each other’s sexual
concerns can give rise to sexual complexities and ruin the act of making love.
3. Conflicts
Past traumas can sever a relationship on many levels. You may feel insecure, afraid,
cold, harsh, jealous, or even hurt by your partner’s actions. You may also find it difficult
to express certain things, which can cause future complications.
Although at the core, you care for and want to protect your partner, trauma can make
you behave otherwise, hurting or judging your partner. That’s the point when conflicts
begin to rise.
How to Overcome Relationship Challenges While Maintaining Your True Self
1. Put Yourself in Your Partner’s Shoes
In true love, you have to think of both of you—as a unit. When difficult situations arise,
think from your partner’s point of view instead of ignoring each other’s needs or arguing
with each other.
2. Express Yourself Politely
You might naturally feel angry or upset with your partner in certain situations. But, that
doesn’t give you or your partner the right to insult or disrespect each other to let off
steam.
You must express your emotions politely and calmly and allow some space and time to
understand each other.
When you are respectful and courteous, there is a high chance you'll be able to convey your emotions and intentions in the right manner.
3. Maintain a Healthy Space
Never lose yourself in a relationship. It is there to enhance your world, not consume it.
Spend quality time with yourself and your friends.
Don't give in to the social notion that in true love, you have to prioritize your partner over yourself. Instead, maintain a healthy balance of each other's individuality. That
way, you won't exhaust your partner and you’ll thrive in free space.
