Joy in love comes from being present in the moment from "summary" of How to Love by Thich Nhat Hanh

Being truly present allows one to experience love deeply. When distractions of the past or future cloud the mind, opportunities for connection slip away. To cultivate love, it is essential to anchor oneself in the here and now. This presence enhances relationships, fostering intimacy and understanding. Mindfulness opens the heart. When you bring awareness to your loved one—listening to their words, observing their gestures, and feeling their emotions—each moment becomes a gift. This attention nurtures a space where love can flourish. Engaging fully with another person means appreciating the small things: a shared laugh, a gentle touch, or a simple conversation. Practicing presence is a way to honor your partner. It signals that they are valued, respected, and cherished. When both individuals commit to this mindfulness, the relationship transforms into a sanctuary, allowing love to blossom and grow. Recalling the beauty of each moment creates a tapestry of shared experiences. It is essential to breathe, to observe, and to connect without judgment or distraction. This practice deepens emotional bonds and encourages vulnerability, allowing love to be expressed freely. As life unfolds in its unpredictable manner, being fully present equips partners to navigate challenges together. Rather than becoming consumed by worries or regrets, embracing the current moment empowers love to thrive, reinforcing the connection between two people. A simple smile, a kind word, or a heartfelt look can convey profound love when shared mindfully. In this space of presence, love is not just a feeling; it becomes a lived experience, rich with meaning and authenticity. Each moment embraced with mindfulness is a step toward a more profound and joyful connection.
