What does love have to do with it? The answer to this age old question is actually quite simple. Love has a lot to do with it. We have all heard the cliches “A life without love is not life at all, love is all you need, or what the world needs now is love sweet love.” The list goes on. The truth of the matter is that love plays a very important role in our humanity. Love is an important factor that we need from the moment we are born, throughout our lives and at the end of our lives.
In 1958, Harry F. Harlow, a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin, published “The Nature of Love,” which was his daily accounts of a study he conducted with baby monkeys. The study succeeded in showing that all living things need love and affection to survive. Baby monkeys who received love and warmth were able to thrive. Baby monkeys who were alienated from warmth and the feeling of love and security found it very difficult to survive.
Love is a vital element for our own existence. Although love has many different meanings to different people, one thing we all have in common when it comes to love is that it is something that we all want and need. The love of a father for his son is the central element. As parents, you want to protect them from harm and help them avoid making the wrong decisions. By the end of the journey, he hopes to have raised healthy, well-rounded adults who will be a contributing factor to society successfully. The level of love and affection a child receives is one of the deciding factors of the type of person they will become. There is no such thing as excessive love, but a lack of love can be disastrous.
Relationships can be very difficult, if not impossible, to thrive and grow without the presence of love. Couples in a loveless relationship don’t last. A relationship is equal give and take. One gives cheerfully and the other receives gratefully and vice versa. One element cannot exist without the other. When one of those elements is missing, the relationship fails. Think about it. If you were in a relationship where you gave your love, attention, and time, but never received any of those things in return, how long do you think you would stay in that situation? The answer for most would not be long.
Believe it or not finding love is actually not that difficult. Holding on to love once you’ve found it is the hard part. The key to doing this successfully is communicating with your partner. If there is something you don’t like about your partner, tell him or her, and as you do, encourage him to do the same for you. By doing this, you are starting your relationship with honesty and trust. These are the two main key elements for a relationship to work. You have to connect with your partner on more than one physical level. Remember to know that your partner is to love your partner and everything related to her. If you are one of the few who finds love, hold on to it, cherish it, and cherish it for all its worth. Because love is something rare and magnificent.
