Dear Reader,
My younger sister asked me if passion can turn into love. I promised I will answer in this post, and she asked me: will you do a little research or will you answer from own experience.
Since she’s not fascinated with my own experience, I decided to do a little research to please her.
So research has it
that confusing love and passion is easy. Lady F claims that in the right case, they are indescernible from each other. Psychologists argue that careers and children make it difficult to maintain the passion in a relationship. Physical beauty fades – none of us gets prettier after her forties, so sexual attraction based on beauty is definitely going to expire. But Lady F asks – what if passion is actually fueled by the soul qualities of a partner, because they develop with the time…we get richer, we evolve. This is why we see romantic, elderly couples, who fill our hearts like teddy bears or fluffy pillows, or bubbles, and all kinds of happy things.
Lady F is positive
she is going to retain romance in her relationships forever, because true passion feeds on the manners of the soul. However, besides passion there is a very necessary ingredient to a happy relationship that is called unconditional love. You may try that, since all of us have families. If you can support and sustain your parents and siblings, if you care for them, and feel compassion for them, and appreciate them – chances are you will do so in a relationship.
For sometimes he will perform feats in bed, at other times he’s got the flu and you have to bring him hot tea in bed, and he looks funny. Sometimes she is a goddess, at other times she is simply being paranoic and you have to accept it with a prosaic smile. Love conquers all, and in a relationship you can delight in thousands of kinds of love. To Lady F – a relationship is an engagement for eternity. Yes – she believes in soulmates – those souls that in any version of reality come to you and choose you. It’s always sunny when you are in love and we can be in love practically forever. Providing that we are willing to work for our sparks, and support each other in times of doubt and darkness.
But can passion turn into love
was a simple question. It actually had to do with retaining a spark and turning it into something truly meaningful, like a relationship. The question is – are you able to transcend passion and rise into unconditional love? Are you ready to work and serve the person on a daily basis, to care about him and protect him, to nourish your mutual feelings and spend each minute of every day with him, without getting tired or disinterested. Are you able to accept his every moment with the initial rapture?
To learn what you have to do in a relationship, you have to rehearse with people who are in your immediate environment. Serve them well, please them, be their romantic lover, chances are you will excel at relationships.
