Bummed because you haven’t really been feeling the love in your relationship? Change the way you think about love: it’s not something you feel, it’s something you do!
When you say “I love you” it should mean more than you’re quite fond of the person. Instead, consider what might be different if those words meant that you are committed to the person and the relationship you have with each other, and are willing to do the work to create a successful partnership.
Be an active participant in your relationship. Love requires action and commitment. Don’t wait idly to feel that same love you felt in the beginning of your relationship, put in some work to take it to the next level. Instead of waiting for your partner to do something nice for you to feel the love, take initiative and action to something kind for them. Love exists even when our relationship is not that great, because love means doing your part to make it better, even if it requires you to be vulnerable.
Remember: It takes two people’s commitment, or love, for a relationship to work, make sure your love is reciprocated!
