Very important question below!
Each in the Dating Journal Questions peels back a layer to the way we interact in a relationship. The following questions are very important if you are looking to create and have a healthy relationship. Please do at least #5, but ideally #1-5, to be able to make bigger realizations and shifts for your highest good and optimal healing.
Question #6
How do you interpret love?
- Think of your longest or most serious relationship, how did you know your partner loved you?
- How did they show love?
- And when did you feel loved? (These don’t have to be the same.)
- Give examples.
- Think of your most difficult/unhealthy/toxic relationship (you may be in this now or it may be the same as above), how did you know your partner loved you?
- How did they show love?
- And when did you feel loved? (These don’t have to be the same.)
- Give examples.
- Do any of the times you felt loved, listed above, seem unhealthy?
- For example, did you feel loved when your partner was jealous, controlling, clingy, angry, or desperate?
- From your answers above, how do you interpret love? In other words, what behaviors feel like love to you?
- Are these the behaviors you want to make up your ideal relationship?
- For example, did you feel loved when your partner was jealous, controlling, clingy, angry, or desperate?
I think looking at questions like this help you appreciate people you’ve had in your life. It can pertain to every relationship you have ever had. For instance, I know I can be a selfish lover and at times I have to stop and really think about my actions.
