The true meaning of Yin Yang in love

We all know the Yin Yang symbol well.

Although the meaning of Yin Yang in love and more deeply in life, may be new to many.

Did you know that it can also help you improve and balance your partner?

Here I will help you understand how to work the energies of the powerful Yin Yang symbol in love.

Once you understand this philosophy, you can’t help but apply it to your life.

Are you ready for the change?

What is Yin Yang?

The Yin Yang is a concept from Taoist philosophy that represents what the world looked like in ancient China.

And, believe it or not, these concepts apply today as well.

This ancient principle defines that everything is made up of interconnected opposites.

That is to say, Yin Yang represents a balance of forces that coexist and form our world.

These forces or energies (chi) are divided into equal but opposite halves:

the Yin and Yang.

The Yin represents darkness, passivity, the feminine, the earth and the receptive.

While the Yang represents the light, the activity, the masculine, the sky and the creative.

Although, if you think about it, everything in the universe has two opposite aspects that need each other.

Because in every aspect of Yin there is an element of Yang and vice versa.

That is, both opposite energies are needed to achieve harmony in everything.

A clear example is that there is no day (sun: light), without night (darkness).

Or there is no cold without heat.

What does Yin and Yang mean in love?

Believe it or not, Yin Yang also applies to love.

In a couple it is the union of two people who are opposite but complementary.

Imagine it like a magnet with opposite poles attracting each other.

They are different, but they attract and work together, right?

And why is this important?

Because in a relationship, it is important that there is harmony.

What will help them show love daily.

To achieve this, both people must be able to recognize and accept each other’s differences to find a balance.

The goal is for both of them to find a way to complement each other.

And, thus, generate a strong and lasting relationship.

How Yin Yang is applied in a couple

These examples will help you understand each energy in the couple.

Do you identify with any?

Yin energy

The Yin represents more feminine, receptive and soft aspects.

Some features may be:

– Sensitivity, emotional support or intimate connection

– Compassion, care and patience

– Listen and empathize

– Intuition and creativity

Yang energy

The Yang represents more masculine, active and energetic aspects.

Some features may be:

– Determination and decision making

– Initiative and leadership

– Protection and physical support

– Problem solving and logic

– Stability and sense of responsibility

Although, do not think that having some of these characteristics defines you as Yin or Yang.

The Yin and Yang in the couple are not limited to specific gender roles.

We all have Yin Yang aspects that coexist in each one.

Identifying them will help you understand how to better connect and balance with your partner.

How to know if a person is Yin or Yang in the couple

As I mentioned before, no one is definitely Yin or Yang.

Therefore, there is no way to determine if a person is Yin or Yang in a couple.

Since we are all a combination of both aspects in different measures.

BUT (there is always a big “but” to everything!) there are some aspects to evaluate the dynamics of your relationship.

1) Personality

Look at each other’s dominant qualities and traits in your relationship.

Who tends to be more calm or receptive (yin)?

Who is more active and energetic (yang)?

Having a mix of these traits can be beneficial in maintaining a balance in the relationship.

2) Roles and responsibilities

Observe how the responsibilities and roles are distributed within your partner.

Who takes on more housework (yin)?

Who focuses more on financial aspects or practical decisions (yang)?

3) Communication and decision making

Now pay attention to how you communicate and resolve conflicts together.

Who tends to be more empathetic and understanding (yin)?

Who is more direct and logical (yang)?

Surely you have noticed that both you and your partner have both energies.

He will have Yin in aspects that you will have Yang and vice versa.

If so, you’re on the right track!

Understanding what qualities stand out in each one will help them connect better.

And, in this way, go in search of harmony in the couple.

Remember:

Balance in a relationship is achieved by:

mutual understanding, open communication and
respect for individual differences.

You can work on it to achieve it!

How to achieve Yin Yang balance in love

Now that you know better what qualities stand out in your partner, it’s time to act!

Put into practice these tips to practice understanding and balance in the relationship:

Learn to listen

Listening to your partner and trying to understand their perspective is essential.

Good communication in the relationship always helps to find balance.

Try to talk openly about your needs and expectations.

Working together to find a harmony that works for both of you is possible.

accept the differences

I know it’s hard. Above all, if the differences generate constant discussions.

But remember that you don’t always have to agree with your partner.

Accepting differences is part of the process of finding balance in the relationship.

be compassionate

A study published in the American Psychological Association states that,

“Couples are happier in their relationships when they apply compassion.”

But that does not imply that you should let situations go and be benevolent.

Applying compassion from Yin Yang means using the best of both energies.

For example:

Identify a conflict in the couple and confront it (Yang).

And accept the wounds it produces (Yin) to try to solve it together.

Be patient

Building a strong and lasting relationship takes time and effort.

So be patient and don’t give up.

Let yourself be carried away by the Yin Yang in your relationship

Yin Yang in love is about finding harmony in a relationship.

If both of you can accept and respect each other’s differences, you can create a healthy relationship.

And, surely, this bond can be transformed into something solid and lasting.

So, work on these tips and keep looking for that Yin Yang balance in your partner.

Worth the effort! Do not you believe it?
