RELATIONSHIPS/MARRIAGE

I have had my fair share of relationships and have learned quite a bit about myself and others.  I will be adding small bits of advice daily so stay tuned!

• Men need to know that they are appreciated often - a kind word, praise, or simply saying 'good Job, I'm proud" is needed
• Women need emotional support, they need a gentle touch whether it be hand holding, touching their hair, a kiss on the hand, or just letting them know you are there for them.  They need to know they are important
• Don't get so busy taking care of others' needs that you forget to take care of your own
• Spend some quiet time daily so that you are able to reflect upon your thoughts
• Pray for those who hurt or do harm to you
• Honesty is the most important thing
• Never go a day without letting that person know you love them
• Do not share your relationship issues with someone of the opposite sex who is outside of your relationship
• If you are not happy in the relationship, take the time to speak to your partner.  Communication is HUGE!
• Separation & Divorce do affect the children of the family ~ they depend on both parents to be there
• You can not change a person.  Only that person and God have the ability to make the change happen.  The harder you try, the more harm you cause to yourself
• If you have overcome come an obstacle in your life, chances are that you will one day run into someone who is going through the same thing.  Extend a hand and let them know you understand what they are going through.  If you have the ability to help then use your gift and do so.
