I want to introduce the idea of immature love and mature love. Immature love - you just love somebody the way you know how, the way you feel comfortable loving them. Mature love is loving somebody the way they need to be loved. You take it upon yourself because you care about somebody to learn their language and how to speak it and love them in a way that makes them feel truly cared for. I actually met a couple in Milan that met in a nightclub. Their eyes locked across the room and they shared a passionate kiss on New Year’s Eve. Then discovered that she only spoke Italian and he only spoke English. They literally had to learn a new language to be together and they did. They fell in love, got married and started a family. Mature love, it’s good for your own growth, it’s good for your partner. It’s how you build a strong relationship that inspires the other person to grow. And if you want to be super advanced, don’t make the mistake of assuming that your partner should just know what you need to feel loved, be vulnerable enough to request it.
