Does any prefer something other than Celtic cross spreads for love readings 

Yes. I would pretty much prefer any other spread than that for love readings, to be honest 😁 Mostly I design a spread that is specific to the context. But i know there are tons of pre-made love spreads out there! 
 

here you go, scroll down to relationship readings:

thank you I appreciate  the feedback , I'm all ears when it comes to learning and growing as a reader 

I often use this one.

 

Me (one card).     Other person (one card)

    Current relationship (three cards)

     Where this relationship is going (six cards)

       Advice (three/six cards depending on the rest of the reading).

 

I usually use more cards for the future because usually there is already a pretty good idea of where the relationship is at at present and it is the future I’m most eager to know about. However if I am totally confused about where it is at presently I do use six cards for current relationship. I also don’t always pull advice cards if I have enough information already.

Over the last years I found myself using more and more a 14 cards spread for reading relationships. 

I can't remember where I saw such a spread in the first place, I know I got the idea from somewhere and I made my own adjustments. 

 

I'll post it in two messages because it's too long to fit in a single one. 

 

Spread the cards clockwise from 1-10, across a circle:

• Cards 1-5 on the right side, representing the querent.
• Cards 6-10 on the left, representing the other.
• Cards 11-14 in the "corners" outside the circle (the relationship)

1&6 = their "baggage", what each person brings into this relationship in terms of beliefs, past experiences and their current outlook on the present one 

2&7 = their current trust level, openness /intimacy

3&8 = their fears and worries

4&9 = their expectations and desires

5&10 = a look into their future (regardless of the relationship)

 

11 = the "glue" connecting these two people

12 = where both their efforts are needed in order for it to work 

13 = advice for further development of the relationship

14 = outlook on long-term commitment in this relationship
