Love is like plants, if it is not watered, it dries up.
There are many analogies about love, but one of the most true is the one that compares it to a plant. Some plants endure for a long time with little care, and others collapse at the first slight, but they all have one thing in common: they must be watered and cared for in a specific way.
Such is the life of a couple, unique and requiring specific care. There are those who are independent and don't require great expressions of affection to understand what the other feels. But there are also those who, after just a few hours of being apart, show their nostalgia.
Every pair of lovers is different, and that's why it's important to know your life partner perfectly, so as not to shrivel the bond that made you two. Understanding what they like, their way of expressing things, how to calm the storms that batter them, and the support they need to get back on their feet after failure.
The secret is in the details
Be thoughtful, whether on a small scale, with a simple good-morning kiss or a special meal every now and then. Or on a larger, but perhaps less frequent, scale, with a trip or a gift for no reason at all.
If you're old-fashioned, write letters to each other, even if you live in the same place, take long, aimless walks, and let life dictate the evening's plan. Dedicate songs to each other simply to remember the other with that melody, or send a text message just to remind them you love them. The secret is to capture that feeling of joy and delight that the other person makes you feel in the small details of life, those that go almost unnoticed, but to the naked eye, fill the soul with magic. The options are endless, but at the same time, they should be those that appeal to the person you love, to ensure that their response is always the most sincere.
Overwatering drowns
However, just as showing affection is vitally important, doing so excessively, in every moment and aspect of life, will stifle your relationship. It will lead to boredom, exhaustion, or even a feeling of failure if you can't keep up with the flow of gifts or expressions of affection.
Like everything in this world, feelings must be in the right balance: neither too little nor too much, so that you become disinterested, nor too much, so that you collapse under pressure. And we return to the starting point: the importance of knowing your partner and knowing each other as a couple, understanding their functioning and specific needs.
Because just like in greenhouses, cacti, which can withstand the harsh desert climate and require little attention to grow spectacularly, cannot be treated the same way as an orchid, which requires special substrates, scheduled irrigation, and precise atmospheric qualities to simply stay alive.
At the end of the day, every relationship is a garden that can be of the same species or varied, but that depends on proper care to see more than one generation of new shoots flourish.
