The 15th reason why you can’t find love is another one that will pierce the illusion of love. Don’t shoot the messenger. There is a small percentage of couples who understand the reality of what I am going to say. They usually stay together.
The 15th reason you can’t find love is because you think love is a feeling. I’ve already talked about neurochemistry and how the brain secretes feel-good neurochemicals like dopamine and oxytocin.
That’s not love. That is just the way in which nature ensures the perpetuation of the human species. It is a biological function. Every healthy human being has it. That is the catalyst for your feelings.
If you try to build the foundation of your relationship on feelings, it will be a very unstable relationship. Feelings come and go. They are predicted about external forces. You need good conditions to feel good. You need your partner to do things that you think make you feel good. If they don’t do those things, you think they don’t love you.
Then there are those of you who say that love is an action. You’re almost there. What’s behind the action? That is the most important. If you’re with someone who does nice things to make you feel good, your relationship will be in trouble if it stops. You start complaining that your feelings for them are dying.
Instead, understand the intention. To understand intent, you need to have very open conversations about how you see each other. You also want to understand if that person represents you. How do they represent you? Your actions will reflect that.
This requires deep heart-to-heart conversations. It has nothing to do with having the same favorite color, going on exotic vacations, or expensive dinners. Love is a place to stand. When you’re in love, you’re there in good times or bad. It is more of a commitment than a feeling. As I’ve already hinted, commitment or anything based on feelings will be shaky.
