Tips for Giving the Gift of True Love


True love is a gift but how exactly do you give something that you can only feel and understand but cannot actually touch?  Here are ways you can give true love (and they won't cost you a single cent):

Offer the gift of unconditional acceptance.

True love is loving someone and accepting them in spite of their mistakes, faults, shortcomings and physical flaws.  For lesser souls, physical imperfections can be an excuse to leave the other person but if you have true love, then give the gift of unconditional acceptance.  By doing so, you strengthen the bonds that hold you and your partner together because there's no need for either one of you to meet certain standards or criteria just to be loved.  

If you want to know how to give true love, learn to accept your loved one for who he is and not demand or expect them to change based on any preconceived notions you might already have.

Offer the gift of understanding.

No human being is perfect.  This is why as we go through life in search of meaning and purpose, we constantly stumble and make mistakes, some of which may even hurt the very people we love and care about.

If you want to give true love, let the other person know that you will care for and love them regardless of what they may do or go through.  When people you love make mistakes or go through trials in their lives, they need to know that they have your support and understanding.  Go ahead and give it to them not just because you are expected to but because you truly want to.

Offer the gift of space.

You and your loved one may be in a close relationship but remember that you are both individuals, with unique needs, wants, dreams, goals and demands.  Regardless of how close you may have become, either one of you will always feel the need to grow as an individual person.

To give the gift of true love, let your partner find the one thing that makes them feel complete.  Be there to support them and encourage them.  The more they grow as individuals, the better persons they turn out to be, thanks to you.

Offer the gift of friendship.

True love, for many people, is overwhelmingly romantic love.  What they forget is that underneath it all lies a strong foundation of friendship.  This is a solid bond that keeps people together, long after the fires of physical attraction have died down.
