“So many believe that it is love that grows, but it is the knowing that grows and love simply expands to contain it.” - William Paul Young

Decryption of quote

Love is often seen as the driving force behind relationships, the magic ingredient that makes everything fall into place. But what many fail to realize is that it is not love itself that grows, but rather the deep understanding and connection between two individuals that blossoms over time.

When we truly know someone - their fears, dreams, quirks, and vulnerabilities - our love for them expands to encompass all of these aspects. It is in this knowing that our love gains depth and strength, allowing us to weather any storm that comes our way.

As we continue to learn more about our partner, our love grows richer and more profound. We begin to see them in a new light, appreciating the complexities and nuances that make them who they are.

It is through this process of knowing and understanding that our love is able to evolve and mature. We come to realize that love is not just a feeling, but a conscious choice to accept and embrace all parts of our partner, even the ones that may challenge us.

Love expands to contain the knowing because it is through this deep connection that we are able to truly see and appreciate the essence of our partner. It is through this knowing that we are able to build a strong foundation for a lasting and fulfilling relationship.

So, the next time you feel your love for someone growing, remember that it is not love itself that is expanding, but rather the depth of your understanding and connection with them. Embrace the knowing, and watch as your love expands to contain it in all its beauty and complexity.
