When we let go of the illusion of what love should be or should look like, then we let go of any expectations we have placed on the relationship. When we let go of the expectations, we let go of the suffering we create. In order to find peace in the relationship and within yourself, you first must understand why there is suffering, where it has manifested, how it was created and through changing the way we perceive love should be, you learn to love what is through compassion, kindness and acceptance. For in the acceptance you will see into the heart of your partner, connect deeply into each other and truly understand the way of love, and how you both choose to experience it.
