Love is enduring...
Love is irresistible...
Love is to be adored by another person...
Love is affectionate towards someone else...
Love is to be fond of someone...
Love is the dearest feeling...
Love is given to your sweetheart...
"Love is not jealous, love does not brag, love is longsuffering, and does not get puffed up," and that's right out of the Good Book!
This is how we wish it could always be, but this is not realistically how it is always. However, that doesn't mean love can't stay healthy. In order to stay healthy in love, when problems arise try to understand the others persons point of view while trying to discern intent or motive behind an act. Don't always jump to a negative conclusion, which is not always the intent.
Think of when you're not feeling well. You go to the doctor to discuss the issues and find a solution in order to feel better. You go home take the doctors' advice and follow their direction until you feel better. Likewise that same solution you search to find from your doctor should be the same work you put into keeping your love healthy.
Communicate, communicate, and then communicate some more. Learn to make adjustments in order to make a success of your relationship. You think one way; your mate may think another way. It's not weak or a failure to adjust things about you to make it work, that takes strength to say, "I will change." Don't stay on an issue; learn to deal with it and move on. Pondering on failures only injure and add to hurt feelings. Things will always come up, remember the old sayings, "For better or for worse," "Through thick and thin," "Through the good and the bad." Learn when the chips are down know love will always stick around. Love can be like a kiss as the sun is setting.
Healthy love trusts their mate. Healthy love can rest assured their mate will always be around to lift your spirits and make you smile. Healthy love doesn't sneak around or have to spy. Healthy love does not always fight and argue. Healthy love will never try and get back at their mate. Healthy love is not overly demanding. Healthy love doesn't seek all the attention. Know you are separate people with separate thoughts and wants. Don't expect your mate to think or act like you. Don't expect your mate to know what you're thinking. Don't set the bar higher for your mate than you would set for yourself. Learn to communicate your thoughts to your mate. Deeply and truly care about the views and concerns of your mate. Try to consider your mate instead of always thinking of yourself first. Remember it's always better to give then to receive. Give your love to your mate wholeheartedly without strings attached or waiting for them to go first. Tit for Tat is very unhealthy. Do things from your own heart. Even if for that moment you don't get it back. Eventually it will come back to you. Usually when you get something back it's always greater than you imagined it would be. Be kind, kindness go a long way in love. It takes more effort to think of something devious to do and it's much easier to be kind.
To stay healthy one must work vigorously on it. The same with love, in order for your love to stay healthy continue to work vigorously at it. Medicine can help make you physically well; love can make you emotionally and physically healthy.
