Love: Falling in, Being in and Telling your love story

Exercise Questions:

Let’s start from where we are to create the partnership we want. That includes forgiving ourselves for whatever fantasies we have cultivated up till now – from here on out were going to deal with reality and build from there.
So, take 30 seconds and just tell yourself and then, accept what you’re telling yourself that you are forgiven for any fantasies that you might have told and whatever disillusionment that you might have created. Take 30 seconds and do this. Now.

Now, let’s take some time to focus on what’s right. Let’s start with what’s right with you in partnership. What are some of the good things about you that you bring to the partnership that bodes well for love and intimacy, and teamwork and fun. What’s right about you? take 30 seconds and write down a number of things that you bring to the partnership which are good for the potential of love.

Now that we’ve begun to make you right. It’s time to make your partner right. Instead of focusing on what your partner doesn’t bring (or what they bring that you don’t like), let’s focus on the good things that they do bring (or the things that they don’t bring that you’re glad that they don’t bring)! Take 30 seconds and list out some of the gifts and talents and awareness and desires that your partner brings to the partnership that bode well for love.

“At some point I made the decision that I was going to give it everything I have. I worked to build a thriving partnership. From that point forward, I did the work that was necessary — and eventually my partner got inspired –until together we created the love that we always wanted. We are so proud of the work that it took for us to get there.”This is a love story that is worth getting good at telling.
So take 30 seconds and just tell some version of that story that speaks to you.
