Relationship Booster: Expect Less

It’s better to expect less and be delighted than expect more and be disappointed. Life shouldn't be all about you and only what you want, life is also about others. So learn to expect less and make it easy for others to surprise and delight you. 
 
It’s good to live with high expectations, because many times our expectations tend to become our experience. But it’s better to also have realistic expectations that won’t lead to any sort of pressure or frustration.

Life is sweet when you are caught by pleasant surprises, than when you expect too much and have it all planned out. Please enjoy the unfolding of each day with your partner. Everyday should be beautiful with your loved ones. Many times my husband would return home with surprising and amazing gifts, at times he changes my wardrobe when I least expected.

I remember when we newly got married. I expected too much and thought because I love my husband and he loves me, that there isn't supposed to be any misunderstanding however little. But I was so disappointed in the first year because we had so much of that, as we were just getting to know our individual make up at that time.

Then I understood that some misunderstandings are a pathway to understanding one another and those misunderstandings are not dysfunctional. We need to be real and true to ourselves and our partner. To expect less sometimes does not mean low life, it would only save us from unnecessary headache.

RELATIONSHIP BOOSTER: Love What He Loves

The proof of love is showing genuine interest in what interests your lover. Help him love it and join him to love it. Loving it just the way she loves it, is the cheapest way to her heart. Don't be disinterested in what interests your partner.  There is no one who truly care about what you care for, that won't be dear to you. Just like, we naturally like people who sames resemblance with us, shares our hobbies, bears same name with us, come from our state, even a stranger who knows and calls us by your first name. Even God is not an exception of this relationship block and booster. Friendship with the world is enemity with God. It simply means, we show love by loving what our lover loves. We must not be lover of self more than lover of God. By doing His will, we show that we love him. It's no pretence to genuinely be interested in what she values and in what matters to him. It's simply you making a strong statement that "I prioritise you, and I value what you value...

Relationship Building Block: Cultivate Desire

You are first an individual before you became or will become a couple. It's the value you place on yourself that you would bring to the union. I remembered, everything I desired as a teen and single are my realities as a grown married woman.  I remembered saying no to almost all the men that came my way then, because there were some values I desired of my man. I simply desired it and I evidently got the same. I desired to be a leading author so badly and I am living the life now.  I was close to dropping out of school at first degree, with no single hope of sponsorship. I simply just desired and my desire birth a miracle of scholarship, in my wildest imagination could not have pictured. Yet, I got it because I desired it. The secret for mostly everything I got and experienced in life is my desire.  I had long desired to be a counselor even without studying psychology, and opportunities for it found me or I would say I found it. Our desire always set the stage for our real...
