Relationship Building Block: Practice Tri-Dimensional Love

There are three dimensions to love; three sides to love we must attain for a lifelong union. The first is to love with our heart, second is to love with our soul and the third is to love with our strength. Many times, we either love at one dimension or at most two dimensions instead of the whole three dimensions which is the perfect love. 

The first step of love is with our heart, it's love at feelings stage (emotions). If desired, it transcend to loving with our mind and will, that's where commitment sets in (we find reasons to love on) and the last leg of love is loving with our strength (supporting our professed love with lifelong actions), where we spend our effort, time, strength, money on/for same person. 

True and perfect love will not give up at the first or second stage, it would always love on. Loving at these three dimensions may be costly, but the rewards and benefits are lifelong. We are truine being, we are a spirit, that has a soul and lives in a body, as such, we must be able to love beyond feelings and love above reasons to loving unconditionally, selflessly and unrepentantly.

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...
