Know the secrets to having your love heard and received!

Learn the secrets of having your love heard and understood!

Later I’m going to tell you about the three main aspects of expressing and acknowledging love, but first I want to give you one of the secrets of love that is concealed by our everyday language.

A secret about the nature of love.

There is one overwhelmingly popular phrase used to express love. “I love you,” holds the crown for expressing love in English. The problem is that we all have grown up using this single phrase and different people often mean very different things when saying these three words.

The Problem with “I Love You”

It’s TRUE! When you tell someone, “I love you,” they do not hear it newly, as you mean it, but THEY hear it in the old way they’ve always listened to “I love you.”

The problem with “I love you,” is that “love” used in this way is a verb. As a verb, we all have our own idea of how an action is properly taken. This leaves little room to hear an action newly. Think about how you already have your idea of the “right” way to wash your clothes, squeeze the tube of toothpaste, or drive a car. Do you notice that your idea of how to love someone is just as stubborn?

The Secret to Being Heard

The GOOD NEWS is that when you know the secret of relating to “love” as a noun, you can see that there are many different styles, textures, and colors of love. When you get practiced at relating to love as something that you can speak of in many different ways, THEN you can express your love for another in a fresh way and be heard exactly as you want to be.

Now that you are ready to take a look at using love as a noun, I’m making good on my promise to share with you three main aspects of expressing and acknowledging love.

Aspect 1: Expressing Your Love for Another

When you want someone to understand your experience of love for them, the key is to focus on your personal experience of love. Do not make it about them. Tell them how their presence causes your heart to beat faster, or your mind to find peace, or your day to go smoother. Do this without expectations of how the other person will react. When you truly want another to understand your love for them, don’t make it conditional, just give them the opportunity to hear and understand you. I’ll tell you how to practice this a little later…

Aspect 2: Acknowledging Another’s Love for You

Just like you want others to understand how you love them, others hope that you will understand their love for you. But how can you deal with their hopes or expectations of reciprocation of love? How can you acknowledge their love when you don’t approve of their actions or don’t feel a great amount of love for them? This can be a serious problem!

There are effective ways of acknowledging another’s love without being trapped into their expectations. Here are a few points to keep in mind:

• Make your acknowledgment about THEM without inserting your own feelings,
  
• Relate to what they do and say more than how you perceive their feelings,
• Be generous with your acknowledgement and acknowledge the impact of their loving actions.

Aspect 3: Acknowledging Mutual Love

This can be very tricky! You want to have a strong experience of another’s love for you before you acknowledge that love is mutual. Be ready to listen to the other person’s response if they want to clarify something that they see differently than you.

You will get better at this with practice. Later I’ll tell you how you can get good at this kind of acknowledgment of love. But for now, focus on one or more of the following:

• The universal nature of shared love,
• The common experiences you share with the other person,
• Common concerns you share.

“I think you do a great job of expressing the sentiment of love in so many different ways, and you give great explanations for these words. I have nothing to say except just keep going! (For the record, my favorite is “Take my love with you.”)” – Christina Surretsky, Mom, blogger, and author.
