Relationship Boosters: Avoid Misplacing Priorities

Often times, we place what should start our priority list at the very end, we empower what should not be and dispower what should actually be and then we find out that, we are dissatisfied and displaced.

A number of relationships suffer from misplaced priorities. In our early years of marriage, I nearly tread that path of placing my career above my marriage, but I have a husband who will not settle for less, who won’t let anything come above our marriage after God.

I am thankful he didn't let us settle for less, rather we went for more. And just when our marriage was rightly placed and positioned, then our career fell in a better state.  We place our marriage above my choices and his preferences, everything we do, we do it for US. We also place people above things and achievements, to us family is everything and it has helped us a great deal.

Do you care to know why it has to be my husband or nobody else and why he is my topmost priority? It is because he also placed me as his first, second and third priorities and that way, I can’t stop living for him and won’t stop making him the life that I live.

"Whatever we place value on, is what will in turn add value to us". And the beautiful part of it, is that anyone can retrace to have a value rearrangement if need be.

Confess to your children how your world is centered around their mum or dad and how having them is more than a blessing too. Though, your partner may already know some of this confessions, it would be so reassuring for you to boldly declare it and unashamedly say it in the witness of one, two or more people. Other times, your partner doesn't even know, it would be so empowering to clear his/her doubts about your love, shatter his/her ignorance that you do not care and cripple any channel for finding you an alternative. Many times, my husband gives our children very awesome name, we would often call our daughter "Sweet crush" and "Golden star...

Relationship Building Block: Little Gesture

 Little things are significant, especially when done consistently. Little act of kindness, kind words, kind visit, kind call, little gift, little smiles, discreet prayers, and simple text messages has the most lasting impact on relationships than the big gift we never give, and the big vacation we are too busy to plan.  Many wait for big wins, ignoring little wins which are the sweetest, longest, and the quickest way that sum up to big wins. Just as mustard seed looks tiny, yet when mixed with actions of planting, brings the tallest tree. Likewise our small gesture of love and kindness, will yield big results and emotions.  Nothing is too small to give or too little to do. Any small thing done in love and with love turns big in the heart of the significant other. Love is a big word and act, so anything done in the spirit of love multiples and return back with seeds, fruits and trees.  The idea is that big things often takes more time, money and effort for it to happe...
