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 Block: Practice Confession

Confession is powerful, negative or positive. Meanwhile, Confession should not only be limited to declaration of wrongs, crimes, sins or transgression. You can as well openly confess to the world how much you love your spouse. You can confess to your partner how much you can't do without him/her in it's truest sense. 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...
