Love isn&#8217;t something you fall for; it&#8217;s something you rise for.&#160;<br \/>\n  Falling denotes lowering oneself, dropping down and being stuck somewhere lower than where you started. You have to get up from falling.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  Love isn&#8217;t like that &#8211; at least not with people who are doing it right. Immature couples fall; mature couples coast. Because love is either a passing game, or it&#8217;s forever. Love is either wrong, or it&#8217;s right. A couple is either mature or immature.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  How do you know? How can you tell if your relationship is in it for the long haul or the two-month plummet everyone predicted behind your love-obsessed back?&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  First, it should be easy, from the beginning to end. There are no passionate fights with passionate make-up lovemaking. There&#8217;s no obsessive calling, texting or worrying.&#160;<br \/>\n  There&#8217;s no real drama. Because drama is for kids. Drama is for people who don&#8217;t know how to have a relationship &#8211; who live by idealistic, preconceived notions that love must be wild and obsessive.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  Love is easy. It&#8217;s the easiest thing you&#8217;ve ever done. It&#8217;s the calmest place in your life, the safest blanket you&#8217;ve ever worn. It&#8217;s something that happens naturally; it doesn&#8217;t need to be fought for day in and day out.<br \/>\n  When you love someone, and he or she loves you, and there&#8217;s no doubt to his or her feelings and no doubt to yours, that&#8217;s peace of mind. A peace of mind you&#8217;ve never had before. The kind that humbles and revives you.<br \/>\n  A mature relationship lives by this peace of mind; immature ones drown in it.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Immature relationships ask questions; mature relationships answer them&#160;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  Immature relationships are all about doubts. Does he love me? Is she cheating on me? Will we be together in two months?<br \/>\n  Mature couples don&#8217;t need to ask questions. They already know the answers, and they don&#8217;t need reassurance from their partners.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  They are comfortable and secure and free of doubt because mature love isn&#8217;t about all those small questions, but a comfort in knowing the big one is answered.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Immature relationships leave you wanting something; mature relationships give you what you need<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  There&#8217;s a void in immature relationships, an apparent absence and incessant worry that something&#8217;s missing.&#160;<br \/>\n  It eats away at you when you go to sleep or leave each other for just a few hours. It burns dimly when you&#8217;re together, but you wave it off with lovemaking and constant chatter.&#160;<br \/>\n  Mature relationships have no void. There are no empty spaces or tiny cracks. There is never a feeling that something has been taken away or is leaving with the other person.&#160;<br \/>\n  The love between the two mature people fills every crack in the fiber of their being they didn&#8217;t know they had.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Immature relationships are striving to be one complete person; mature relationships are fine being two&#160;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  Immature relationships are formed by two incomplete people. They are two halves trying to make one whole.&#160;<br \/>\n  They are two people looking for something that can&#8217;t be found in another person. They dominate each other, force themselves together and make one flawed mesh of a human.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  Mature couples never strive to be one. They are two individual people looking to make two better people. The love between the two of them isn&#8217;t about making both of them whole again, but more individual.&#160;<br \/>\n  It&#8217;s about pushing each other to pursue their passions, interests and become the best person possible.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Immature relationships lose their drive; mature relationships make you more motivated&#160;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  We all get wrapped up in love. It&#8217;s easy to spend days in bed and weekends in the hazy world of blankets and kisses.&#160;<br \/>\n  But eventually, that smothering love is replaced with motivated love &#8211; a type of love that comes when you want to make a life with someone and work hard to get that life. Immature couples never get to this.&#160;<br \/>\n  They never feel that motivation to leave each other only to come back more successful and more determined to make a life for the two of them.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Immature relationships fight over text messages; mature relationships are always face-to-face<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  Fighting is natural in many couples; texting is not. Mature couples do not spend their days bickering over a screen.&#160;<br \/>\n  When they have something to work out, they do it face to face &#8211; where the meanings can&#8217;t be misconstrued by emojis and auto correct. Immature couples fuel their relationship with incessant bickering and lengthy messages.&#160;<br \/>\n  Immature couples see long texts as evidence of their &#8220;relationship&#8221; and find comfort in spending hours hiding behind their phones. They argue just to argue; mature couples fight for their future.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Immature relationships are about trying to find yourself; mature relationships already know themselves<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  Relationships are only for two complete people looking for companionship, yet many incomplete people look for it to complete them. This is when mature relationships and immature ones split.&#160;<br \/>\n  You can&#8217;t have a healthy relationship with two unhealthy people. When you&#8217;re trying to use someone to complete you, you&#8217;re creating an incomplete relationship.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Immature relationships are threatened by everyone else; mature relationships enjoy meeting other people&#160;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  There are always going to be people in your life, pasts to each person and surprises behind closed doors.&#160;<br \/>\n  Mature couples, however, do not feel threatened by strangers and past lovers. They are confident in their love and their partner&#8217;s love.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  Immature couples find threats in everyone. They&#8217;re delusional and paranoid because their love is superficial. They do not have a strong enough foundation to effortlessly glide past all the distractions and threats.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Immature relationships live by preconceived timelines; mature relationships let everything happen naturally&#160;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/all_uploads\/uploads5\/noiembrie\/22\/17815_2.jpg\" align=\"center\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  There&#8217;s no right or wrong time to move in together. There&#8217;s no specific year to get married and definitely not a timeline for your life together.&#160;<br \/>\n  When you&#8217;re in love, things happen at their own pace. You feel things, and you follow your heart.&#160;<br \/>\n  Immature couples, however, don&#8217;t have those feelings, those instincts and those effortless moments. They make up rules and guidelines and assume time is the only thing that makes or breaks their relationship.&#160;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Immature relationships judge you on your past; mature relationships help you carry it&#160;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  We all have a past, and in many cases, one we&#8217;re not proud of. We can&#8217;t help what happened to people before we knew them. All that matters is how they are now. Immature couples, however, refuse to see beyond the past.&#160;<br \/>\n  Mature couples don&#8217;t just accept one another&#8217;s pasts but want to help heal the wounds. They look beyond the mistakes and the flaws toward the beauty in the future together.<\/p>\n<p>    <strong><br \/>\n      <br \/>\n    <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>    <strong>yogaesoteric<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>    <strong>November 22, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>  &#160;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mature couples don&#8217;t &#8220;fall in love&#8221;, they step into it.
