This is because one of the most dangerous, exciting, and satisfying journeys of life is the adventure of finding and learning to love one person, and love them well.
One contemporary author who writes a great deal about love is Debra K. Fileta. She is a regular relationship columnist for Relevant Magazine. Read her article: Here's How to Find True LoveI'd like to get some dialogue running about Fileta's three concepts of dating inward, outward, and upward.
After reading about dating inward in her article, here are some questions I think that are worth exploring:
What in the world does it mean to "get to know yourself"?
Why is dating inward important to a relationship?
I think that people should look inward because you don't know if you might like them or not so we should give everybody a chance to be in the group. So that why everybody should get a chance.

ReplyDeleteGetting to know yourself refers to knowing your strengths and weakness, your fears, and your limits. It is necessary to have a stable,balanced relationship in which you are comfortable with one another.
ReplyDeleteI feel that people look more at the outside than in, and we are going to have to try and change that if we want to move forward as a society.
ReplyDeleteGetting to know yourself means knowing what you want. It means knowing what you want and don't want.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is worth thinking about before getting involved relationally. If we just go on simple attraction or emotion, we can end up with someone without any of the traits that we really value. Once you begin to have some idea of the type of person you would want to marry it helps you know where to direct your attentions.

ReplyDeleteI believe in this sense "getting to know yourself" means to actually have the time to sit down and relax and just explore yourself. Instead of being in a relationship where you know more about your partner than you know about yourself. "Getting to know yourself" is the best way to be in a relationship because you"ll know your murals,standards, and etc.
ReplyDeleteExcellent insight.
DeleteGetting to know yourself is following your passion. You want to know what your heart tells you, not your head.

There is a time to choose the heart over the head, but, honestly, your faculty of reason is often more valuable. Our hearts can lead us down all sorts of unwise paths.
DeleteThis article really stood out to me. I related with it and I even took some personal tips on loving myself. I believe dating inward is important because you need to know yourself and know things like, how you love, or how to react to it. When you know yourself and spend time for yourself, you really see who you are in personalities. It helps you be more confident in your love decisions and your standards in future love and dating.
ReplyDeleteYou have really spoken truth here.
DeleteGetting to know yourself means several things to me. It could be realizing what kind of person (i.e. personality) you have, or knowing your capabilities in life.
