20. n. Synonyms and Love, Liking, Predilection, Attachment, Affection, Fondness, Devotion; friendship, kindness, tenderness, delight, partiality, charity (theological). As between persons, love is the most general of these words, covering much the widest range, both in degree and in kind. Liking is the weakest. Predilection goes a little further, but is only a preparatory liking or readiness to love. Attachment has much of the notion implied in its derivation; it is a love that binds one to another, an unwillingness to be separated. Affection is generally a regulated and conscious love or attachment; it goes deeper than attachment. Attachment and especially affection are often the refined and mellowed fruit of the passion of love. Fondness, originally a foolish tenderness, is not yet altogether redeemed from that idea; it may be an unreasoning and doting attachment, and is never very high in quality. Devotion is a sort of consecration or dedication to the object of one’s feeling, an intense loyalty, as to a superior—a constant service. See esteem.

His and Her Love Buckets

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011 Posted in 7 Rings of Desire, Her Love Bucket, Love Dynamics, Masterman, Mastermen, The Love Bucket® | No Comments »

 

Question: Does the saying “what’s good for the goose good for the gander” apply to filling the love bucket?

Answer: Well, that depends…

 

Probably the one Ring of Desire that surrounds the love bucket and helps keep it strong and sturdy is the Recognition Ring of Desire.  There are 7 Rings of Desire® of the Love Bucket.

Look at the icon in the above image that represents the “diamond” of the ring.  This is not the usual icon but is being used to represent the sameness for men and women in filling the Love Bucket.  Let me explain further.

Recognition for a gal comes in the forms:

1) Recognizing her appearance.

2) Recognizing her actions.

3) Recognizing her essence.

These ARE essentially the same for men. 

Guys like to be respected, honored, and feel like they are the hero.  I like to use the term MASTERMAN for men who deserve respect in all aspects of their life.   A guy does want a woman to think he is hot.  I guy does want a women to respect him and say “thank you.”  A guy does want to make a connection with a woman so he feels she “gets me.”

So, then, what does it depend on? The difference is the expression of how you recognize a man compared to how you recognize a woman.  That is where language, love linguistics come in as well as understanding and putting into practice the inter-personal 5 Love Dynamics.

Ten Tips for Relationships that Fill “The Love Bucket”

10 Tips for Relationships that Fill The Love Bucket on Valentines Day and Beyond

Happy Valentine’s on February 14th! => Monday, February 14th, 2011

Each of the love dynamics can fill the love bucket in some way. There are basically 10 tips that your lover (boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, partner) can follow. This will improve your relationship and your Valentine’s Date. Note, these are not the Rings of Desire of the Love Bucket, they are basic relationship does and don’ts.

To learn more about these tips and the 5 Love Dynamics please click on the link. It is a online access that’s downloadable that may be a good gift for you and your Valentine.

Read the following tips before Valentine’s Day. It could make your day or evening more magical…

1. Give your partner what he/she wants before they ask for it. Be a MASTERMAN, be a Lady Love Diplomat, be nice!

   

2. Share in your relationship! Give as much as you receive, talk as much as you listen, pleasure as much as you enjoy. Libra, the sign of relationships is symbolized by the scales. Find harmony in interactions.
3. Breathing Room. While Location, Location, Location is the real estate agents’ mantra, Space, Space, Space should be yours. Give your lover space.
4. Communicate about issues immediately. Don’t wait! The longer you hold something in, the more damage it causes. It may be perceived as deception or lack of trust.
5. Timing of Talk. Communicate, but not when you are emotionally charged. The clash between the opposing forces of reason and passion is well known in the ancient Greek tragedies (emphasis on the tragedy). Both energy fields of reason and passion are needed in a relationship. However, keep the reason for conversations and switch when you want the passion to lead to the bedroom.
6. Gratitude. NEVER take your lover for granted! That is the apocalypse of all relationships. Always spend a few moments thanking the Universe, God, your mother-in-law and your good fortune for sending you your loved one.
7. Accept Change. Relationships evolve. Change is going to happen, it’s inevitable. According to Taoism, we start our relationships with the Yang, the masculine principle, but if we want the relationship to continue to evolve we must move to the Yin, the feminine principle. In a simplistic two dimensional way, Yang is the part when we fall in love, have sex several times a day, and act all sweet and lovey-dovey. It’s super fun, but it can burn us if we don’t cool it and move to the second part, the Yin principle. Yin symbolizes the feminine energies of family, security, and commitment.
8. It’s About Friends. It’s part of lifestyle. Make friends with your lover’s friends and have your lover connect to your friends. The old adage – “show me your friends and I will tell you who you are.” Make sure to establish common friends as a couple. Not all, but some.
9. Be forgiving. Do not punish! Forgive him or her, even if your lover is infuriating and did not wash the dishes, won’t sit beside your mother, or check the pockets and mistakenly washed your lipstick. When you punish the one closest to you, you punish yourself. It’s self-destructive.
10. Oh, the MYSTERY. Always keep an element of surprise. Spontaneity, adventures, breaking the routine and doing things together that you have never done before (trying something new, camping in the wilderness, traveling to an exotic country) will generate stories that belong only to the two of you. It’s like creating your own mythology to share with family and friends. It is said, God created the Universe with a story. You can recreate your relationship with these stories that will weave your lives together.
11. Bonus – CELEBRATE! Find reasons to celebrate the big and small successes in life. Create a toast, a ritual, or simply take the time to respect and honor what your lover or both of you have done. Find more reasons to cheer on and congratulate and the level of your lover’s esteem will raise in your eyes.
