You must be able to differentiate self love with looking after yourself. To love yourself, you need to create a good relationship with yourself. You need to see yourself how you are and begin to appreciate everything about you including your physical features. Sometimes, you’d notice that you may not like the shape or size of one part of your body or the other but if you have self love, you’d work hard at devising strategies to really come to appreciate that size or shape of body part if not for anything for the fact it made you complete human with all the features you need to possess a s a human.

It is by talking that your partner would know how you feel and what you want and unless you voice it cannot be exactly figured even though it may be perceived. If you truly love yourselves, you should be able to let your partner know in clear terms your desires, your fears, your worries, your needs and your expectation without undermining him or her.
Happy couples are genuine, defenseless, and sincere with each other. They make demands in an effort to meet their needs. For your relationship to be successful, efficient communication is accepted is inevitable.

When you see your marriage as part of your destiny, you would be much more able to create the type of relationship you crave for.

It is easier for you to feel so much attraction to each other when you focus more on that cause or purpose for which you are together. If you see that there is a purpose you are meant to achieve together, you will work harder to ensure that it is fulfilled. Your purpose may be a value you share together. If you see God’s hands in your union, you’d always look at that divine purpose for some sort of comfort and inspiration when the going becomes tough.

Majority of people who created the love they ever desired had some royal model they looked up to for inspiration.

7. Learn from your past experience and grow from it
When the going becomes tough, we tend to let go of the lessons that comes with it but if you are able to check what led to the crises, what you did well and what you did not do well, you may be able to develop yourself and your relationship further. Instead of ruminating over what has happened, draw inspirations from it and move forward.
If you think you have not been able to create the type of love you want, you may wish to ask yourself questions to really discover what is wrong and what you need to do. Ask yourself, what is it about your partner that you are not happy with, check whether that thing that you are now unhappy with is one of his or her traits/features you use to admire when you started out. If it is the case, it means the problem is from you and not really your partner. It is possible that that trait of your partner is pointing to you an aspect of your life that need to be further worked upon.
