YOUR LOVE LIFE

‘Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence.’

Vincent van Gogh

Whether you are happy or unhappy in a relationship or single but yearning for love, the 15-Minute Rule can help you improve your love life.

There are thousands of fabulously romantic quotes about coupledom, and of course so many of them are along the lines of Keats’s ‘Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one.’

Depending on your interpretation, this could be a healthy idea, or not. If it refers to two separate people united by love, that’s all well and good, but if it’s about fusing two personalities into one, that’s a different matter.

We can feel incredibly close to our loved ones if we’re lucky, but the idea of the soulmate who totally connects on every level and fulfils all our needs is no more than a fantasy for most of us. And it’s a fantasy that could stop us finding happiness in a relationship or even stop us from finding a potential partner in the first place. A good relationship involves two people who, even when they’re really well suited and committed to making it work, will have problems occasionally. That’s life.

Love sure makes the world go round but neediness stifles the life out of it. A relationship where one person finds it difficult to function without the other is not healthy. The happiest relationships tend to be between two people who choose to be together, rather than need to be together.

Even then, there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. We all have our baggage, and two sets of baggage living together takes up quite a bit of space! Often the best thing we can do, if we are experiencing problems in our relationship, or having difficulty either finding or entering into a new relationship, is to work on ourselves.
