Is it love that i feel

Is it love that I feel? There is more to love and relationships than you think..

Human beings are pack animals and we are always on the look-out for a romantic relationship. It is natural and instinctive. It is a way of seeking happiness and fulfilment. But, being in a relationship can also be the biggest source of unhappiness.

Being aware of what is going on, apart from love, can help you to build a relationship which makes both of you happy. If you know, you have a choice to make changes. If you are unaware, you can damage your relationship and reduce your happiness.

An important part of my job is to ask questions and make you think a bit deeper. Most people think about a situation and come quickly to a conclusion: ‘This is how it is’. However, there is often a bit more than meets the eye and in this article, I am inviting you to look a bit closer.

It is easy to mix up feelings, like love, with other feelings.

Just go through the list and think…..
