When you respond with love - not jealousy, anger, resentment, selfishness, or frustration, but simply love - you've all but guaranteed a loving interaction and, in the long run, a loving and successful partnership. Rather than sweating the small stuff, you'll be appreciating the big stuff! You'll be non-defensive, non-reactive, and accepting. You'll find that everything important in your relationship will magically fall into place, including the difficulties. The reason: Love heals. When you respond with love, your partner respects you, loves you, wants to be with you, and wants you to be happy. Compromise is easy, as is forgiveness. Responding with love helps you see the innocence in your partner, yourself, and all of humanity. When you respond with love, it's easy for your partner to see his or her flaws without feeling defensive or threatened. Likewise, when your partner response with love, it's easy for you to see your contribution to any problems you may be having.
