Love can bring out the best in all of us. Ever notice when you are falling in love, whether it be with romantic love or family love or friendship love, we lift up the person we are newly in love with. Everything that they do is wonderful and exciting. We encourage them and support them. As the newness of that love fades, so too can our enthusiasm for the person. What if we treated the everyday people in our lives, the people who have been around a long time, as if we were falling in love with them? -Jody Malloy (CLF)

Tell someone you love them.

All people are sexual beings, but not all people express or receive physical pleasure in the same ways. The intimacy of healthy relationships allows us to express with partners how it is that we feel pleasure, and what it is that we desire physically and emotionally.

Talk with someone about a sensitive topic today.

Romantic love is eros. It is the love that bonds partners together. It is the stuff of hearts and flowers and is often (but not always) accompanied by physical intimacy.

What does “romance” mean to you?

It is important that playful actions like teasing and tickling have firm, mutual, consensual, and respected boundaries. Each of us deserves to fully, freely, and joyfully consent to how we are treated and how our bodies are touched. And that consent can be fully and freely revoked at any time.

How do you tell people to stop doing something that is bothering you?

Sometimes love feels like a playful puppy, with boundless energy and undivided attention. That puppy requires a lot of care and instruction on how to grow up well.

How do you care for those you love?
