Men don’t always verbally express their love, but a man that loves you will always be loyal. He will place himself in the greatest danger to protect his most precious prize. Men expect you to know they love you by their level of loyalty. So don’t stress out too much if he’s not saying it. He’ll learn to get there, but for the most part his faithfulness, dedication, commitment and loyalty is his way of saying “I Love You”.
There is this mysterious element to true love. As powerful as it is to make and change so many things in life, it also does something that is crucial to the integrity of any real relationship. It keeps secrets. Its ability to hold hostage the greatest and darkest secrets of life and treasure the most painful and potentially damaging reality those secrets have the potential to create is unprecedented. Many couples will bring things that were shared as secrets, or confessions, back up during an argument, but love doesn’t do that. It covers wrong the right way.
In most relationships, it takes approximately 2 – 3 years for those “butterflies” that drew you so emotionally close to fly away. When couples really love each other, they find new and deeper ways to be attracted to one another. They find the passion and the depth in the relationship that call the ‘butterflies’ back home. They love at deeper levels and in new ways. They allow real love to create new opportunities to connect in new ways.
You can only love at the level for which you have been loved. So as you spend time together, you must realize that you will have experiences that will stretch you to learn new things and challenge you to love beyond what you knew when you first got married. Remember, you are bound to learn more than you knew when you started.
There is no other way around this truth. You can’t do it, if it has never been done to you and found it’s way inside of you to permeate the essence of who you are. It causes you to love and respect yourself, then transfer that love to someone other than yourself. It’s powerful!
