In the Chapter 29, it discusses on how the actions we make show our love more than how we feel. Often times, partners complain that they are feeling unloved and unwanted due to lack of action. While one partner feels that their love is evident, the receiving partner may not feel the same way. Love is a personal thing. It is something that you fight for each day, and it’s the reason why you have to see results in order to believe the words others say. Some people do not need the words ‘I love you,’ to feel loved, they need to see it through their partner’s actions. In the best relationships, both partners know each other in such intimate detail that they know the things that fill each other’s love tank.
I know exactly what makes my partner feel loved so I make the conscious effort to do so. I also know that the love I give out will return to me multiplied. This is not a selfish thing. It is about being aware that as people, we are mirrors, and we treat people the same way as we treat ourselves. So, if we are showing love to ourselves and our partners, it will radiate out of all that we do, and we will be surrounded by positive, loving energy coming from all directions.
