Hmmm, interesting idea. I’m going to have to try this one out. I get that many actions, and questions do in fact mean “do you love me?” or some variant. I’m not sure about a really superficial question like “what time is it?” I know there are times I ask my partner for things not because I am having a twinge of insecurity, but because I am lazy. What I do get though, is that my response to any action or question, even “what time is it?” is an opportunity for me to respond out of love, an opportunity to be love.

Thanks for sharing this real life situation. I have found myself trying to bridge the gap, when it seems like I am feeling distant with little comments or questions. I think it is true that what we really want to hear from each other is if we love one another. Being aware of this will help me to recognize when I am feeling distant and just give him a little kiss on the head when he is absorbed and say “I love you”.
Thanks Debbie

lovely insight of re-framing ,Chip :-}
Reminds me of Marshall Rosenberg’s encouragement to hear others with
Giraffe-ears {hear with love }. Your perspective is so powerful and delights me also with it’s beautiful simplicity.
How about a ‘namaste’ for every question or out-reach that people make :-}}
love you, chip …..
