There are several things that I've been thinking about with the growing rate of
couples getting divorced. After my own divorce I began looking at relationships!
I've put my focus on the aspects of relationships that seem to be working in
relationships. I love to relate life to dancing, in all relationships, it
takes two to Tango!!
First and foremost is communication. When we share our feelings we can
learn to trust!! With an emphasis is on the positive, I truly believe that
love with flourish
Trust is a huge issue these days. How do we learn to trust? I think
we listen to our own bodies and become aware of how our partner's body reacts to
situations. Being aware, watching and listening, making an effort.
Trusting our own instincts and intuitions.
Appreciation for the other person ... the big and the small things. We
tend to become comfortable with the love and the gifts of those we love.
Remembering with little notes, a back rub, kind words, admiration, a loving
smile, praise, all of those little things that can make a world of difference.
Today, I think there is so much talk about "independence," ...
handling things on your own ... two heads are so much better then one.
Plus, I think it opens avenues to explore and can turn a problem into an
adventure!
Playing, that is what I love to watch, couples who know how to play together.
They may have separate interests, yet they know how to enjoy every aspect of the
other person.
