I just read this, agree 100% and pretty much practice already at home, BUT I noticed that its great to be reminded sometimes of the little things that can make a big difference, cuz life does trip us up sometime and counter productive tiny habbit emerge over time.
I read and notice I need to tweek a few things I am doing/saying... there is always room for improvment
You may find helpfull as well ~ enjoy
RELATIONSHIP TIPS FOR A STRESS-FREE 2012 (or as close as possible!)
January 2, 2012 By Dr. Kevin Leman
Tips for parenting:
1. Watch your expectations, make sure they are positive and not negative!
2. Make sure your kids get enough Vitamin E (encouragement) and some very essential Vitamin N which is No! Remember, if you love your child, you will disciple them
3. Rules are important but not the only thing that is important, relationships matter most!
4. Have fun with your kids, laugh at yourself, use the words, “I am sorry”
5. Finally, to put it bluntly do not take any disrespectful act from your son or daughter without significant consequences
Tips for your marriage:
1. Ladies, remember he is the SIMPLE one! As I have said many times, think of him as a four year old that shaves! His needs are simple. He needs to be needed and wanted by YOU!
2.Guys, understand that your wife majors in relationships and communication. She has the need to hear from you. She wants to know your feelings that you have about, well… almost everything in life! She needs to feel like your lovingly affectionate at all times!
3. We spend money on everything under the sun, I wonder how many of us invest our time and our money in our marriage? Want to do something for your family this year, take time to be a couple, enjoy a date night, consider joining next year’s Couples of Promise Cruise! Those kind of investments play dividends for generations.
4. Do your marriage a great favor and make sure that your spouse and your relationship take precedence.
Tips for relationships (including those of you you are single!):
1. Don’t “should” on yourself
2. If you have a critical eye– that is to say that you can spot a flaw, especially in the ones you love, in less than 10 seconds…. give it a rest! And rather than pull up the negatives, look for the positives and use the words, “Good job!” “Nice going” and “I bet that makes you feel good inside!”
3. One more thing, if you want to see a relationship with someone you love improve dramatically, in less than 48 hours, stop asking questions! It’s like magic. On that note, tuck the “why” word away and watch the relationship change before your eyes!
