Relationship Booster: Close the Gaps

If you don't want to be replaced, then you have to be rightly placed. The Gap you refuse to fill, another would soon fill up the space. There are no vacum in life. 

In marriage, if you stop being the best friend to your spouse, another would (even opposite sex). In parenting, if you won't give a listening ear, and be a true support system to your children, their peers would soon be that support.

I had some friends at the time, we were extremely close, but distance created a gap. We innocently refused to bridge the gap with a call, text, chat, voice note, or anything. At some point, we struggled to get back to what we were before, even though the interest was there.

I had another friend, we haven't seen in 6 years, yet there was a deposit however little. She either check my status (a silent way of check up), or like my post or I send a voice note or pictures. We did something. And the time we saw, no one would believe we have been ways apart for so long, looking at the bond we shared.

Let no one leave their role unplayed, else one lose relevance. Some couple, when they become parent, they have a high tendencies to lose their couple touch, if no conscious effort is made in that direction. It doesn't come cheap, but the product of that effort is lifelong.

When benefit is far more than the cost or price to be paid, it makes commitment easy.

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...
