Love In Relationships - How Liking A Person Is The Key To Loving Them

I heard a great quote the other day. Have you ever heard a quote that was so good that you just had to write it down. This was one of those kind of quotes. Let me share it with you. They said "The problem with relationships are that people are so busy falling in love that they forget to fall in like." That is so powerful, for many years I did just that. In my current relationship I followed the correct path and fell in like first. I am so much happier and you can be too, here is how.

If you are just meeting a potential new love, get to know them. There is plenty of time to be wrapped up in the passion of love. Befriend them first and get to actually know them as a person. A dear older friend of mine who has been married over forty years told me recently, "when you get older you are more friends than anything else, so make sure you like hanging out with her!"

If you have been dating romantically for a while already take time to get to know her. Make a serious effort to learn about what she likes and dislikes. Become a student of him or her. Do you enjoy similar things or are you at least complimentary in your tastes? If he is just gorgeous, but boring to hang out with do you really want to build a life on that? Of course not! Part of the love equation has to look forward to the future when you are "more friends than anything else."

Are you married to them? Well it is a little late to be getting to know their likes and dislikes hopefully you have already done this before you got married. In the unfortunate case where you haven't then my advice for you is totally different. If you find that your tastes do not merge then one or both of you need to work on changing the things you like to mix with your partner. If you want things to last forever figure out some things that she enjoys and learn to like them too. (I am not married, but after many years if hating football I learned to enjoy it because my girlfriend loves it, so don't say it cannot be done.)

Do you like your partner? Do you even know them enough to like them? In the building of solid love, like is a main ingredient. Get to know them, become a student of them, or learn to like something that they love in order to mix well with them.
