What’s Love Got to Do With It

 

What’s love got to do with it

 

True love stories never have endings!


 

Happy Valentine’s Day!

 

Did you know Love can not only make you happy, but lower your risk for heart disease?

 

By releasing endorphins, raising dopamine and oxytocin (the cuddle hormone), and lowering cortisol, LOVE is heart healthy and good for the soul.  One of the best ways to get love is to give it (especially offering love to the folks who appreciate YOU and respect YOU)!

 

Love can come in many different forms, like the love you have for your child, spouse, or for Muffy, your golden retriever. Remember, you’re never too old to BE IN LOVE!   Being in a mature, loving relationship can be quite beautiful. 

 

It’s also healthy for you. One study showed people who were intimate could reduce their risk for heart disease by half.

 

If the drive is gone, please get a workup (especially with a holistic medical doctor), and check your hormones, because it could indicate early heart disease.

 

It’s important to keep the passion alive, and not take each other for granted. Drew and I have a rule, “Never go to bed angry!”  Since your mate doesn’t come with a manual, you must learn from one another, working to meet each other’s needs and learn each other’s love language. 

 

Have you read, “The Five Love Languages?” Great book to help improve a relationship.

Relationships are not easy, far from it, but a healthy, loving relationship is so worth it. 

 

Guidance helps. We all make mistakes, but finding forgiveness and being true to yourself, can set you free.  Make sure to communicate clearly with your needs and pick the right time to do it. 

 

Sometimes when we’re tired, at the end of a long day, or just getting home from work or school, may not be the best time to have that “let’s talk” discussion.
