Words for December 24th
"What is true love"

I felt that this message was teaching me that "true love" is not something fantastical, but rather
the very way of living where you continue to care for and be grateful to your partner.

What is true love

True love is not about temporary excitement or a convenient relationship. It is about

gradually building up a relationship where you respect, support, and are grateful to each other.
This message conveys that it is something that grows over that time
.

Just as "ease" does not equal "happiness," even if things take effort or there are moments of misunderstanding,

true love grows precisely within the attitude of continuing to face each other
.

I feel that such values are the foundation of this message.

Important points for cultivating true love

An attitude of respecting your partner
Instead of just pushing your own righteousness or desires,
try to understand the other person's values and perspective. That attitude becomes the
foundation of true love.

A relationship that never forgets gratitude
The more being together becomes a matter of course
, the more "thank you" and "thanks to you"
tend to decrease. However, whether you can consciously express gratitude is what
determines the depth of love.

The determination to keep going nurtures love
When you see unpleasant traits or problems,
instead of immediately cutting ties,
continue to think together about "how to face them" and "how to overcome them." That
determination is what shapes true love.

A small practice you can start today

Today, for your partner or someone close to you,
try writing down one thing you have started taking for granted.

Then,
try to put into words as specifically as possible "how their doing that helps you."
specific words

When you feel dissatisfied,
before using words of blame, first express one thing you are grateful for.
I hope you can gradually aim for communication where affection and gratitude are delivered as a set.
