How to fall in love again

Author: TerryL | Filed under: Family, General, Life, People, Society

How to fall in love is a question a lot of people ask. Young people ask it more than older people because older people know that you will know when you are in love with someone. People over 50 are more inclined to ask what love is rather than how to fall in love.

So what is love? Good question. People have been trying to define what love is for thousands of years, without much success. Scientists can tell you what chemical changes take place in the body when you are “in love” but they can’t tell you what love is.

Can I tell you what love is? Nope, nor can anyone else tell you what love is, at least if they are being honest. We call love an emotion but it’s certainly more than just an emotion. For some it’s an all consuming desire to be with someone, to take care of them, to protect them and keep them from harm.

For others it’s not the big rush of desire that is love but the deep feeling of satisfaction they get from being with the person they love. There are so many ways to show love that even the great writers get into the act. “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.”

How to fall in love again can be tough but falling in love is easy the very first time around. We don’t have to do anything at all. It does seem as if it happens all by itself. Unfortunately, staying that way is frequently easier said than done. Marriage brings along more “real life” than we ever expected and there may be times when we realize the fact that we have fallen out of love almost as quickly as we fell in.

When this happens, there are two options you can choose. You can give up and walk away or you can make a decision to fall back in love again. There is absolutely no other choice. You may think that you can stick it out in a loveless marriage, however it rarely, if ever, works like that. I tried it and it worked for approximately six months until I thought I would go crazy if something didn’t happen. We didn’t even fight, there wasn’t enough feeling for that, we simply existed.

You have five steps that you must take if you are really committed to making the marriage work and falling back deeply in love with your spouse. You will need to choose, remember, change your focus, let go, and make a change.
