Love Sparks


Listen Later

Today’s episode is called Love Sparks. Can you think of those moments in time involving special relationships that were incredibly special? Moments you shared with that certain someone? Today, I'm talking about the topic of love and that bond between you and a special partner. So, as I think about love, I think about the many different people I've interviewed on the show who are Relationship Coaches or relationship experts. I jotted down a few of their names and I'm looking at ten people who were terrific guests on this topic. You can search using the search bar on my website and type in the word ‘relationship'.

Those Eyes
  • Have you ever just stopped, paused, and with as much love, thoughtfulness, and compassion as you can have in your heart, just looked into your partner's eyes?
  • And I think it's really important to do that,
  • We live life day after day, and do you stop to think of that passion and your compassion? Do you let it flow from your heart and from your being into theirs?
  • That's something you can gain by practicing mindfulness.
  • What Does Your Partner Love?
    • Sometimes I think we forget to think about what does he or she enjoy the most in life?
  • What does your partner grab onto that makes them just full and satisfied? What gives them complete joy and bliss?
  • Sometimes, we confuse it because we understand what gives us joy and bliss. And we may assume that the other person is that same way and enjoys those same things. I know I've been guilty of that.
  • Be Vulnerable
    • Although it is not always easy, open up and be vulnerable with that special person.
  • The more you can open up, be vulnerable, and be willing to share, the closer you can become.
  • And, of course, we all know that we have to be careful and smart. Our ego is trying to protect us. We have to allow our brain to help us know when to hold back and when it's okay to let go and be vulnerable.
  • Sometimes, we must be willing to take those chances our brain tells us not to take.
  • So step out and try to let go a little bit.
  • The Sparkles
    • This takes me back to my wife when we were going out. We were dating and we were walking along the street. it was our second or third date, and the stars were twinkling.
  • It was this perfect evening. And the ambiance was phenomenal. But I remember the stars, and it felt like they were twinkling and sparkling. I felt like they were speaking to me.
  • How could life be any better than this?
  • When we were together that night with the sparkly stars there were fireworks. It was so special. And now it's almost Valentine's Day.
