Love means caring

Love Means Caring: Emotional Investment

Sharing life activities and personal information creates intimacy and emotional connection. Over time, caring grows and your emotional investment in the other deepens, even when all is not "rosy" and pleasurable. We love because we find our emotional match in the other person, that which makes us feel more whole. We have found a "soul mate" and gradually become more and more emotionally and spiritually connected to the other person.

Fear is what gets in the way of caring. But you don't have to suffer in silence. Fear of asking for what you want.Finding yourself reacting defensively when you don't want to do so.Being critical of your partner or yourself.Attempting
                                               to control your partner Fear of being rejected.
