The Choices That Make Love Last: How To Start Building A Solid Relationship

By Sarah A Hart

Disney movies and fairy tales end on a 'Happy Ever After' without ever showing that Real Effort and Hard Work goes into a Long-Lasting Relationship

Skipping over that fact, sets a lot of us up for failure...
 

Remember the excitement of meeting someone new - the butterflies, the laughs, that first kiss, oh the tingles! You want to know every little detail about this person, fall asleep in their arms every night, and seem to easily talk for hours about anything that comes to mind.

You're in a great new relationship, you feel elated and excited about this person for months, you're spending more and more time with each other..

And then, eventually, everything changes. The honeymoon period ends.

You are comfortable around each other. You still love each other very much, but that excitement seems all but vanished. You no longer talk for hours at a time. The sex becomes less frequent.

What is Love?

Clinical psychologist Yana Dubinsky asks the question, When a couple stands in front of all their friends and family on their wedding day, they promise to love each other ‘til death do us part.’ If love were a feeling, how can we make a promise about how we will feel in 20, 30, or 50 years? Therefore, it stands to reason that no matter how many Disney movies tell us to follow our hearts, love has to be much more than a desire.

So what exactly is love then? If we go to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, it is defined as strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties or attraction based on sexual desire: affection and tenderness felt by lovers. The Greeks, on the other hand, had six different words to refer to love: Eros, or sexual passion, Philia, or deep friendship, Ludus, or playful love, Agape, or love for everyone, Pragma, or longstanding love, and Philautia, or love of the self.

The Bible has its definition of love: Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.

Whatever definition you decide to choose to define love, one thing is for sure, love is never easy. It's hard work and consists of a series of choices and decisions that have no shortcut or fast track to making it last.

There are a million different ways to love and we use the word ‘love’ to express our affection towards various different people and things, each in its own degree. When it comes to discovering how to make love last, first we must decide what love is. To love someone is to want the best for that person. The key to making this love last is to remember that Love is not just a feeling, it is not something we have, or we don’t. Love is not something we can hold it’s not something we can lose. Love is a verb. It is a skill that needs
