What does it mean to be a lover? It is more than just
being married to or making love to someone. Millions of
people are married, millions of people have sex - but few
are real lovers. To be a real lover, you must commit to
and participate in a perpetual dance of intimacy with your
partner.
You are a lover when you appreciate the gift that your
partner is, and celebrate that gift every day.
You are a lover when you remember that your partner
does not belong to you - he or she is on loan from the
universe.
You are a lover when you realize that nothing that
happens between you will be insignificant, that everything
you say in the relationship has the potential to cause your
beloved joy or sorrow, and everything you do will either
strengthen your connection or weaken it.
You are a lover when you understand all this, and thus
wake up each morning filled with gratitude that you have
another day in which to love and enjoy your partner.
When you have a lover in your life, you are richly
blessed. You have been given the gift of another person
who has chosen to walk beside you. He or she will share
your days and your nights, your bed and your burdens. Your
lover will see secret parts of you that no one else sees.
He or she will touch places on your body that no one else
touches. Your lover will seek you out where you have been
hiding, and create a haven for you within safe, loving
arms.
Your lover offers you an abundance of miracles every
day. He has the power to delight you with his smile, his
voice, the scent of his neck, the way he moves. She has
the power to banish your loneliness. He has the power to
turn the ordinary into the sublime. She is your doorway to
heaven here on earth.
