Can you speak Love ?

Because love is a choice, it's efforts you make towards one another, for one another.

How do you show to your soulmate that you love them ? Do you act according to what YOU identify as Love, or do you display the behaviour THEY identify as Love ?

Is it telling her she's beautiful, or him he's manly, while they didn't ask ? Is it taking the trash out or cooking diner instead of them ? Is it an unexpected gift ? Is it giving them all your attention now and then ? Is it a peck on the cheek, a hand on the shoulder ?

Learn to speak your mate's love language. See what they like and do it, have them see what you like and they'll do it.

If you don't risk everything, you're risking even more. - Erica Jong

There is no safe love. As soon as you make mistakes, and you will, you will have the "safe" choice, which is to hide it, or the risky choice, that is, deal with it. Confess it. Take the risk to damage the love the other person has for you. In other words, give them reasons not to choose to love you anymore. That's your risk to take.

Your soulmate's risk to take is to still choose to love you. It is to risk getting hurt again because of your mistakes. Love is a risk, taken both ways.

The day you stop taking risks is the day you stop thinking the other will take risks. You won't feel that they love you anymore, and they won't indeed, because you won't let them make the choice to. They won't know what is at stake, and your loves will grow apart from reality, like a movie missing scenes.

It may seem like not much at first, but it will grow on you, and on your respective love.

Remember that you will both make mistakes, and you will both have to take risks.
