While we are hard at work becoming more improved individuals, our relationships will improve only when we actually share who we are with our partners. Two souls in love will hunger for the knowledge of each other. Everyone knows that trust is very important in a love relationship, but the trust we expect when revealing our darkest secrets to our partner is unprecedented. It is very difficult to bestow that kind of trust on anyone. It is an important step that has to happen for love to take hold. Realizing that you can tell your lover anything about yourself is liberating and attractive and that's the kind of trust that makes you feel safe and wanted. Each one of us is special and unique with precious experiences that makes us a whole being. Share those feelings with your partner. Explain your beliefs and your values with your partner. Share with them all the things that make up the individual you are: your strengths, your weaknesses, your dreams and your fears. Tell them about your childhood and your spiritual beliefs......share your one deepest secret with your lover that you have never shared with anyone before. If this is a little uncomfortable for you or your partner then there is a reason why.......Fear.

It is a natural human condition that love creates fear. Fear of being hurt and the fear of commitment are strong, but the fear of letting someone in who will know all about us is the strongest. We know that we cannot hide who we are from our lovers in a successful relationship. Our lives are made up of moments that are like puzzle pieces that fit together just perfectly to make up the big picture of who we are. If we hope to be known and accepted by our partners, we have to show them the entire portrait of ourselves. When you make that choice, they will see all the pieces of you. There is no hiding it. Whether good or bad, this is who we are. For true love to exist we have to let go of our fears and self judgments. Every piece of your life's puzzle is a beautiful and cherished moment that you should have no fear in revealing to your partner and they should have no fear revealing themselves to you. Share with your lover the truths of who you are. Let go of the fear. Be yourself. And you will be loved.

When two souls fall in love, they know everything about each other. It's our human side that wants to hide things from our partners. We want to look as perfect to them as we can. We believe that sharing too much will drive our lovers away or scare them off. It's not fair to our relationships to try and keep secrets from our partners that our souls already know about each other. Where is the trust in that? You can't believe that you will be judged negatively by your partner if they are the one for you. If you believe that your partner is so blind and stupid as to never see the real you, your relationship will head for a quick demise. When you meet your soulmate, there will be nowhere to hide. Ironically, we fear judgment by our lovers, but it's somehow OK to judge ourselves as negative or bad. Good or bad is your own perspective........your lover will see something different. You have to unconditionally trust your partner and reveal the entire picture of you to them. Knowing is the most profound kind of love.

You are beautiful. You are precious. Every little piece of your life fits perfectly together. Be the best that you can be and you will proudly stand up to reveal yourself to your lover, your friends, and the world. The picture of you is like no other. It is unique and you will embrace it. Sharing yourself with your partner is the greatest gift of love and respect and trust that you can give. And put that credit card away.......this gift is free.
