Anyone who has experienced romantic love can tell you that falling in love is easy. The hard part, especially in today's world, is staying in love. Many couples break up. Distractions, conflicts, miscommunication, and boredom can get in the way of what was once a magical relationship. Staying in love takes work. Relationships need careful and attentive nurturing.
Falling in love is amazing. There's blushing, butterflies, flirting, and infatuation. We see the world through rose-colored glasses that can cloud even our best judgment. As unromantic as it sounds, it's driven by an instinctive urge to continue our species.
However, after about two years, those relationships based purely on romance will deteriorate. Reality creeps in and couples begin to have to work to meet each other's emotional needs.
How do we ensure that these needs are met? Cultivate a relationship that allows for open and honest communication. As the excitement of the new romance fades, we need to make sure we can understand each other.
The best way to communicate as love matures is to find your partner's love language.

The next lesson introduces us to the five different love languages to help you understand your partner on a deeper and more intimate level.
