What is more exciting and exhilarating than falling in love? Is there anything?
Sadly, though, many of us have learned that it is just as easy falling in love or out of love, and while finding love and affection is one of our greatest personal needs, why is it that so many fail to stay in love? Why? Anyone?
Falling in love can be the start of a loving relationship, but lasting relationships don’t just happen,they must be cultivated to grow. In many ways nurturing a relationship is like tending a garden. Neglect it,weeds will grow and it dies just because of doing nothing. Constant care and cultivation including the following ideas are needed to keep love alive and growing.

Most behavior is caused or motivated. Once we understand this, we can be much more accepting and loving. For example, one father I know was having difficulty with one of his two children. One was the “perfect” child, the other constantly rebelling.
“Is one of your children a favorite?” I asked the father. With a tinge of embarrassment he admitted the “good” child was. “Do you think this could be the cause of your difficult son’s negative behavior?” I asked again. The answer was obvious.
We need to understand that much negative behavior in adults as well as children is caused by not feeling adequately loved, it is that simple. This may have its roots in present relationships or from unmet childhood needs. Either way, when people are acting negatively or yelling, they are hurting and, in a way, however inadecute it may appears,they are yelling for help. If we can see this and take the time to understand the real cause behind their behavior instead of taking it personally and yelling back, we can go a long way in strengthening our love relationships. Admittedly, this isn’t easy but we do need to work at it.
Love is also accepting responsibility. Most of us bring the excess baggage of unresolved issues from the past into our close relationships. For example, the man who didn’t get along with his mother and is still angry at her will inevitably take out his hostility on his wife and family. Or the woman who felt mistreated by her father or some other
Love should be born and live in fields, just like wild flowers. Love needs to be nurtured by water, with no concern about where and when the next rainfall will take place. Love needs to allow nature to take its course and trust in the sustenance that its surrounding provides. However, love refuses to take the easy path. Instead, love decides to live in kitchens alongside irritated cooks, dirty walls and screaming infants with impatient mothers. Clearly, love would be better off without concerns, growing in a field like an iris, patiently waiting for the next rainfall. However, love chooses to exist in chaotic environments filled with discontent and discord.
Love is the major reason why people want to forgive and thus move on to normalize their relationships.
Love is a powerful emotion that every human being has experience at least once in their life. There are numerous connotations that refer to this emotion, but there is only one kind of love that can make a person change completely in unexpected ways. It is the kind of love that consumes the soul and everything within. Mixed with excitement, adventure, heartbreak, happiness and joy; it is a big ball of feelings, all concentrated in one simple, yet extremely complicated necessity to have, protect, please and give all of oneself to that one person. In certain occasions, love can grow very intense and, consequently,
I'd had a rocky beginning as a single parent. My oldest child had certainly felt the brunt of my first divorce as well as my short-lived second marriage. I'd never had any trouble with my children; yet, suddenly, for the first time in his life, my son had trouble in school as well as at home. I'd sought counseling for him, but the older he got, the more he rebelled.
The human idea of love is quite possibly the most misunderstood in today’s society. Love can be between a man and woman, mother/father and their kids, or even really good friends. However, these relationships of love go through many interactions and stages to start and progress. Many psychological events must occur and be worked through in order to be successful. All relationships must endure the five perspectives of human behavior. These perspectives are biological, learning, social and cultural, cognitive, and psychodynamic influences.
David Maybury-Lewis gives us viewers some insight on romantic love, being in love and just plain old love. He says that being in love is a need for possession because we feel incomplete and this is usually why we marry. The problem we have is that feeling fades. He also says that romantic love threatens the family. Societies need people who will live for their children, not those who will die for love.
There are many different types of parents with diverse parenting styles in the world. Some are efficient in their ways, while others struggle to wonder why their child did not turn out to be everything they hoped. The controversial topic of whether the parent knows what is best for their child hangs over the reader’s head in Amy Chua’s article.
Many may contradict Doctor Epstein’s view of the top ten competencies of a good parent, but there are many factors that are needed in order to conclude that one may or may not raise successful children. From the point of view of Rose Mary and Rex Walls, both individually had horrible parents. As the common idiom goes, “Like mother, like daughter” and “Like father, like son,” Rose Mary and Rex Walls “inherited” their parenting styles from their parents. However, following up with Doctor Epstein’s ten competencies, Rose Mary and Rex Walls individually split the responsibility and gave their children the ten competencies in different forms average parents would not expect to give to their

“True love is hard to find.” “Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all”. These words have been told to and heard from family, friends, co-workers and even words in a poem. (A.C. Bradley). These words are said to someone to comfort and express sympathy and understanding to one that is having a relationship issues. Only a lucky few have found true love the very first time love has entered the into their space, some have managed to remain married over forty years or more.

Love is one of the strongest bonds that keep any number of humans together. This bond, combined with our natural instinct to cooperate with each other is the strongest by far one of the strongest bonds that almost nothing can break. Love stories can be one of the most complicated to describe, and once two people establish the bond of love the need to cooperate with each other no matter what falls apart in the relationship can never be broken.

For many it is what creates meaning in their daily lives and what makes us continue to chose to live.
