Opening the Door to Love
Don't worry about how long your relationship is going to last.
Just give it your best energy and attention.
Experience as much joy as you can with your partner.
Learn as much as you can from the painful times.
Do your best to be honest and clear with each other.
Stretch your comfort zones a little.
Be flexible and constructive. Be the first to yield and to bless.
Give without worrying about what you are going to get back.
Don't be full of pride, but admit your faults and mistakes.
Don't be ashamed or apologetic. Have the courage to be yourself.
You will never be perfect in your ability to give or receive love.
Don't try to be. Each day, just be willing
to learn something about yourself and your partner.
That way, little by little, the door to love will continue to open.
