I love being in love and loved by my spouse.

Being in love and being loved are two different experiences, and almost everyone is better at one of them. The first is active, something you do, and it flatters you. The second is passive, and it is much harder to sit still for.

There is a whole type of person who adores enormously and cannot accept a compliment about their cooking.

Watch which half your attention skips. If it goes straight to how much you love them and slides off how much they love you, that is worth knowing about yourself.

Try letting the second half land for a full ten seconds.
