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 Boosters: Mentality of Give and Take

"Give me, Give me Attitude" shortens the life span of any relationship, because life is a give and take, while death is a take and take. Any relationship without an exchange (give and take) will soon be dead. When anyone takes too much from a relationship than they give, life is being taken away from it gradually.  He who only knows how to take and not to give, becomes a parasite and might never be "A can't do without person". We should give, not because the other person lacks, but because we need to make deposits in order to withdraw for account not to show danger. I had lost friends in the past because of this deficiency, not because I wanted anything back, but because we all need to bring something to the table (time, effort or money) even if it’s not equivalent. Just like the image above is a moment of reunion, where we shared value. God GIVES us life and we GIVE him the glory. Our parent GIVE birth to us and we GIVE them honor. A man GIVES the ...

Relationship Booster: Make a Strong Point with Love

One thing to do in order to oil and m oisturise our relationship is to always find a perfect moment to make a strong point. When your partner is weak of any sort (physical, financial, mental), you can show up your strength for him/her at such time, because it's such moment that he places his highest value on strength and that is not the time to deny him such.  When your partner offends you in an unimaginable way, such is the perfect time for you to find it in you to forgive. At such times, she think she is underserving of your forgiveness and if you truly can brace up and bring yourself up to it, you have made the strongest of point. Meaning he might never be able to recover from that kindness, by holding you far too dear.  True love is only known when it's the hardest to show, and known in the most difficult moments and not the rosy times we all think we love. The test of love can only be passed when you find it the hardest to love, yet you love anyways. it's when it cost ...
