 Thinking VS Acting:
Cliches are a dime
a dozen, but there are two that are appropriate when it comes to relationships
and romance. Those two comments are “It’s the thought
that counts” and “Actions speak louder than words.”
These two concepts are unique in that they are both true when it comes
to any relationship and they also much be somehow balanced in order
to work properly. Each action or thought truly depends on the two
individuals that are involved as well as the particular situation
they find themselves in. On one hand, the gesture, or the gift that
makes an impact while on the other hand, it’s the thought or
the meaning or the intention that makes an impact.
Along with the thought
and action, there are many other layers involved in what makes any
romantic effort in a relationship work or not work. First, it is important
to stop stereotyping each other, trying to make assumptions about
what he or she thinks, feeling threatened by their position at work,
intellectually or otherwise, ignoring feelings and so on. Secondly,
it is important to be yourself and accept your partner for who he
or she is. Communicate with each other while really listening. Always
practice good manner with each other even though you may be comfortable
enough to pass wind in front of each other. There is no need to let
it all go. Make your relationship your first priority over everything
else in your life.
Stop making jokes about
male or female behavior or conditions. While it may be funny for the
moment, it can become part of how we view each other or how we fear
our partner’s view us. Don’t assume anything that you
aren’t one hundred percent sure about when it comes to your
spouse. He or she will most likely prove you wrong. Don’t act
as of every action was a huge sacrifice- a martyr can suck a relationship
dry. Offer each other trust, hope, the benefit of the doubt, and trying
to understand how he or she feels before assuming any position.
Sometimes it’s
best to begin slowly and build up to the more complicated aspects
of growing a relationship with anyone. All it takes is one successful
step in the right direction and you and your spouse will be hungry
for more. Cuddle up together without the television on, the radio
on, turn the phones off, and if you have kids, put them to bed early.
Take him or her to a special tree and carve your initials in together.
Take the time to do
something you normally wouldn’t do that he or she is sure to
enjoy. Men love to have their feet massaged and most women don’t
know that! Sit him or her down in a chair, place their feet in a hot
bin of water, wash and massage their feet, dry them off and go about
your day as you normally would!
Try to find a way to
provide your love with something he or she can live without but truly
enjoys. Does he or she love a white Christmas but you live in an area
where snow doesn’t fall or the weather isn’t cooperating?
Find a way to fill your lawn with snow or artificial snow so that
you are the one giving them a white Christmas.
Once you consider introducing
romance to your relationship, you may realize that your marriage hasn’t
come first in your life. It is important that your relationship be
the top priority in your life in order to be successful.
