Greetings, Community!


Valentine's Day Edition - Love is in the Air

We are part of a society where the topic of love was only for couples. You were born a woman and you had to get married because that's what you were meant to do, and also have many children. We grew up with the concept of finding that soulmate who would make us happy, and it was terrible if you were over 30 and still hadn't found anyone.

With the passage of time, discovery, and freedom of thought, love has found other meanings and is no longer limited to romantic love as such. Love is a feeling that arises from feeling good about what you do. There are many opinions on this topic because in recent times, self-love has become a hot topic.

Today, after 35 years of marriage, understanding romantic love has meant looking back at the stages we've gone through in this relationship. It's about understanding each other when, at times, it was frustrating, not letting ourselves be swept away by the other person, and maintaining boundaries in certain things. This is part of self-love, which is sometimes, or most of the time, confused with excessive freedom. Feeling free in a relationship is necessary, but always with respect for the other person. It's a long and complex topic because everyone has their own story and their own perspective on love and romantic love.

We first met through a friend; the introduction wasn't intended to lead to a romantic relationship. We got to know each other, talked, started dating, and gradually developed a relationship that continues to this day. As I mentioned before, we've gone through different stages of the relationship, understanding that a relationship is about mutual understanding. We were single when my children chose their own paths, and today we support each other in many activities and share a lot at home. We respect each other's tastes and that's how we stay together, daily details that can be considered gifts, being mindful of the coffee, the cutlery I like, the mangoes I like and such details that may be silly but are great details, simple and natural.

Undoubtedly, maintaining a relationship for so many years leads us to go thru various stages, where living together makes us get to know each other in many ways, and as you say, that leads us to establish boundaries, to maintain respect, and to keep the details among other things. I loved reading your message, friend. A hug!

Very true to your points, this is what love is all about. Feeling free in a relationship is very much necessary to keep it moving. Nice write up.

Thank you, thank you so much. As this week's instruction tells us, love is in the air. As I've learned in recent years, our heart is the largest energy field that exists because that's where love is concentrated. From there, we decide where to place it: in ourselves, in the things we do, in our families, and especially in our beliefs. I am a fervent believer in God; He is always present in my heart and in everything I do.

Happy Friendship and Love Day! @shamis
