Christmas is a reminder of love, of giving. It stems back to the ultimate love story - the love of the infinite for the finite. The Creator for his creatures. The pure for the unpure. Of ultimate and unconditional love for the unloved. Beauty for the non-beautiful. It is a reminder of the love of God towards his creatures. It is not a mere myth of baby in a manger, helpless, adored, swaddled. It is powerful, glorious, stunning in its glory. It is like a shot from heaven for the faltering creatures, faltering from lack of love, meaning and hope. The ultimate power fuel, love potion, energizer.

Relationships give meaning, life, joy. We were created to love and beloved. At our center, we live, work, breathe, so that we can have fulfilling relationships – with ourselves ( ie, positive and fulfilled), with our creator, and with the people around us.

To love, we have to give of ourselves and that can feel like taking a big risk. But not loving and not having loved and been intimate can almost be like not having lived.
Here are 10 tips for creating more fulfilling relationships with a committed partner.
