Give, Give, Give:
Everyone knows the
old sayings about marriage and how everything requires compromise
and each partner should give 50%. Well- they are wrong! Everything
should not require compromise or everything will end up turning into
a business negotiation and someone will feel that they gave up more
than they should have. This leads to resentment and it doesn’t
have to. While there are certain situations that may be important
enough to you or your spouse to make an issue of that will require
compromise, it’s time to consider making sacrifices here and
there for your spouse. He or she will, of course, be surprised when
you do so, but they will also begin doing the same for you out of
appreciation for you and your actions.
Each partner in a marriage
should not be giving 50% all of the time. If you are only giving 50%,
you are only doing have as well as you could be doing. If you and
your spouse are both giving 100%, you can’t go wrong. You are
both giving your marriage all of your dedication and effort. If you
and your spouse are planning on only meeting each other halfway, you
will only be successful half of the time (or maybe even less).
Romance isn’t
really romance when it’s convenient for you or your spouse.
Your romantic gestures on romantic days like Valentine’s Day
or birthdays can only be considered romantic if you go out of your
way to be romantic throughout the rest of the year. You don’t
have to spend money in order to be romantic, either. Begin offering
to stop on the way home in case he or she would like you to pick something
up. Never allow anyone else to greet him or her at the airport no
matter what time the flight arrives. Start getting up and taking care
of housework or even the kids before he or she has the chance to ask
you to.
Instead of thinking
about being romantic, simply do it. Make the decision that you are
going to fall in love with your spouse and simply do it. If you spend
too much time thinking about it, you will find yourself the victim
of self-sabotage. You will focus on faults, hurts and other unimportant
distractions that will stop you from reaching your goal. You don’t
need books or a professional to help you with this process. You simply
make the decision and you will DO it.
In order to become
more romantic by just doing it, you will find that listening is your
best tool. By listening to him or her with more that just your ears
but with your eyes and heart as well, you will see that there is so
much more to discover about the incredible person you are committed
to. Not only will you find that they are offering all sorts of clue
and tips on how to be more romantic in your relationship, you will
also find opportunities to offer support and fall in love all over
again.
Giving never has a
limit attached. Large, medium, and best of all, small gestures are
good enough as long as they come from the heart.
