The love stays the same
Every one of your relationships — friend, partner, family member, child — will evolve through the years.
And your love for them can remain consistent, even as the relationship changes.
To keep that love strong at every stage, it can help to ask ourselves questions like:
"What does love look like for us right now?"
"What do I need right now?"
"What do they need right now?"
"What are my unspoken expectations of how things 'should' be?"
"What past strengths of our relationship can we draw upon?"
"What new capacities might we need to develop?"
The relationship doesn't look the same, so the love might not look the same on the outside. But that doesn't mean it isn't there, invisibly supporting you both, a consistent presence that keeps you connected.
