Ethereal love— the sentiment. That ecstasy of emotions that heighten our state of Being into one where we fly high with the universe. A joy that is only but a small part of the experience of love, being loved and of being in love.

Love is exactly this trivial moment; when the road gets rocky or the waters a little bit turbulent and we are confronted face to face with a choice: we either buckle up and grab a paddle to get through the rapids together, or we simply walk away.

Partnership is the willingness to show up day in and day out. To grow, to learn, to give in, to let go and to allow ourselves to become—together. To realize that in times of chaos it’s you and your partner against the problem—not against each other. It’s the understanding that life will constantly put us in places of discomfort and it is up to us how we want to handle it. To simply want to feel ecstasy and heightened feelings of pleasurable bliss at all times, is not love. Drugs are probably what you are looking for. The more we stop looking for that drug like feel when it comes to love, and the more we are willing to make it work, the more we will actually begin to enjoy the raw unfiltered sensation of a love filled life.
