Relationship Booster: Breathing Space


Everyone needs a breathing space for healthy living and survival. Breathing space from things, places and people, even God had his one day out of seven days of the week, where he abstained from work, things and people and all he created and he desire us to do likewise.

We must not overdo things, some people will work ten days out of the seven days of the week, head overworking ahead of the days and time while letting their relationship to suffer. My husband will often tell me the place of work in our marriage and it never exceeds there for anyone of us.

We equally need breathing space sometimes away from our partner, as a lot of relationships suffer suffocation or choking by their partner, as they don’t have a single space for self. We might be couple, but we are also individuals and both sides of our lives must be respected and honored.

Even couple sometimes need breathing space from their children, where they can both be together without interruption, that way they can arrange a safe outing for their children for them to achieve that. My husband and I have lovely shared moments and we also have our individual space where we can both do our thing without fear of judgment or any offense.

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...
