Love doesn’t always take the shape we think it will. But it does not mean it isn’t there.

Often we see how we want things in our relationships to be different. We also sometimes need to learn to listen and focus more appreciation for each other for the ways we do show our love.

The way we show love can be different for each of us. The way we want to be shown love is not necessarily the language our partner speaks.

In a healthy relationship, love is better able to be received when there is respect, allowing, acceptance and trust in what is, rather than conditions and a hankering after how we think it should be.
