Sometimes we are so excited about our beloved that we can't think straight or believe that life would be meaningless without our lover. It is times like these where we wonder whether love is an addiction or just some happy feelings we experience. We also notice how rapidly those happy feeling disappear as we sullenly withdraw our love because of the broken heart we’re afraid to experience. Being in love brings out the best, the mess, the good, the bad, the ugly and the sensational. Love also ignites a sexual side of ourselves that we typically have not experienced with anyone before. There is no greater freedom, security, sense of purpose or sexual energy like that with our new lover. But deep within the recesses of our mind, we wonder whether what we are experiencing is love or just lust. We are obsessed with pleasing our lover and interpret any little disagreement with them as evidence that the experience must be something other than love. Rather than focusing forward, we start remembering our past love experiences, and our journey to love starts looking a bit bleak. But we press on, worrying about making the same mistakes from the past, but not sure where to turn to for advice.
When we think about the heartaches we experienced from losing love, we wish we had some guidance or a good book with advice to depend on. Sometimes the hurt was so bad that we wished there was an instruction booklet for love like those that come when you buy a computer or cell phone or dishwasher. To learn about love and discover the pathway to lasting love does require guidance. If you think about it for a moment, if the air-conditioner in your car was broken, would you look for a repairperson with a questionable record for repairing air-conditioning units? Probably not! With something as special as love, we should also be as cautious about seeking out advice to repair our broken hearts, as we are about looking for resources to repair our broken appliances and automobiles.
The information in this book emerged from my research and interviews of happily married couples. Most have been married for over twenty-five years and each partner had much to say about what it takes to weather the storms of life. In addition to being genuinely happy, they are just as in love with each other today as they were when they first got together. Interestingly enough, many of the couples said that being together has increased their love.
In Let Go and Let Love, you will discover the reasons why you’ve got to put your lover first if you’re going to have an extraordinary relationship. You will discover that putting them first is difficult when you have to let go of old beliefs about love and your need to be right. You will also come to understand your style of loving and whether you're willing to explore the depth of your love.
Like many others, my relationships would have benefitted greatly if I had information about the steps to empower the experience and expression of LOVE. My journey has been difficult and often painful—and I’ve made plenty of mistakes, but I have not only survived, I’ve emerged with a new understanding of what love means. Discovering the pathway to lasting is difficult for some people, but it can be done. I hope Let Go and Let Love will be the instruction manual you’re looking for.
