Love Sets Your Partner Free!

Love feels so good that we often want to do everything we can to keep it. We want to control it. We want to tie it down so that it doesn't run away!

However, this is not the power of love. This is the force of fear - the fear of NOT having love. It's the fear of loss or abandonment.

No, real love works the other way around. When you tap in to true love, it can do nothing else but set free ... both you and the ones you love. Freedom is in the nature of love.
