![]() ![]() If the word “love” is understood in the deepest way, why do we need to say “long-term commitment”? If love is real, we do not need long or short-term commitments, or even a wedding ceremony. If you are motivated by some desire, that is not love. Sexual communion should be like a rite, a ritual performed in mindfulness with great respect, care, and love. In sexual relationships, respect is one of the most important elements. In my tradition, husband and wife are expected to respect each other like guests, and when you practice this kind of respect, your love and happiness will continue for a long time. We have to make an effort to heal our language by using words carefully. We should not dramatize our speech and misuse words like that. We are talking about our appetite, our desire for hamburgers. When we say, “I love hamburgers,” we are not talking about love. We have to restore the meaning of the word “love.” We have been using it in a careless way. ![]() “To love without knowing how to love, wounds the person we love.” – Thích Nhất Hạnh ![]()
