Happy Mother’s Day – Words and a Woman’s Heart
“Men need to learn, understand and remember that Women have tender hearts and are easily broken with unkind actions, words and deeds. Men would be wise to stay alkaline in all their thoughts, their words and their deeds towards Women. Always treating and honoring Women with kindness, love and respect, protecting their tender hearts. For Women are the Mothers, the Wives, the Sisters and the Daughters of Men.” Dr. Robert O. Young
Fourteen Ways To Know If YOU Are In a Good Relationship
1) You Speak Your Mind Relationships thrive when couples can express themselves freely and honestly. That means no topic is off-limits, and you both feel heard. Consistent communication is vital to building a lasting life together.
2) You Have Your Own Space Just because you’re in love doesn’t mean you have to spend every moment together. Taking time to pursue your own interests and friendships keeps your relationship fresh and gives you both the opportunity to grow as individuals—even while you’re growing as a couple.
3) You Fight Disagreements are normal, so if you aren’t fighting, chances are you’re holding back. But when people in healthy relationships fight, they fight productively and fairly. That means avoiding name-calling or put-downs. It also means striving to understand your partner instead of trying to score points. And when you’re wrong? You apologize.
4) You Like Yourself And Your Partner Chances are your relationship won’t suddenly get better if you win the lottery, have a baby, or move into your dream house. So don’t base your partnership on the hope that it will change. You recognize that neither of you is perfect, and you accept and value each other for who you are right now—not who you might become.
5) You Make Decisions Jointly You don’t call all the shots. Neither does your partner. From what movie to see to how many children to have, you make decisions together and listen to each other’s concerns and desires. Sure, this may mean you see Transformers on Saturday night. But on Sunday night, it’s your turn.
6) You Find Joy Healthy relationships are full of laughter and fun. This doesn’t mean you’re giddy every hour of the day—or that she doesn’t drive you up the wall sometimes—but it does mean that your life together is mostly happy in sometimes simple ways. (Making dinner, laughing at the same things, finishing each others’ sentences…)
7) You Find Balance Sometimes your partner needs to work longer hours while you play chauffeur and chief cook. Or you must devote time to an elderly parent while your spouse tackles the chores. That’s life. What matters is that, in the long run, your trade-offs seem fair.
8) You Treat Each Other With Kindness Nothing is more important than treating the person you love with care, consideration, empathy, and appreciation. If you find yourself showing more respect to people you hardly know than you show your partner, take a step back and revisit your priorities.
9) You Trust Each Other Healthy relationships are built on trust and a commitment to communication without reservations or secrets. Want to know how much you trust each other now ? Take this quiz from the University of California, Berkeley
10) You Let Things Go Your partner will annoy you. You will annoy him or her, too. You will say things you don’t mean. You will behave inconsiderately. The important thing is how you deal with all this. So he forgot to pick up milk for the second time? Tell him you’re disappointed, of course—then let it go.
11) You Are Intimate Sex is an important part of healthy relationships, but it’s only one part, and it’s different than intimacy, which is less about physical satisfaction than about bonding, friendship, and familiarity. If you’re in a healthy relationship, you’ll feel connected—in and out of bed.
12) Your Relationship Is Your Safe Place Your relationship should be a safety net—a stable place to come home to at the end of the day. That doesn’t mean you don’t fight—it just means that when things are hard, you’d rather see your partner than commiserate with coworkers at UnHappy Hour.
14) You Say The Magic Words “I love you”, “Thank you,” and “I’m sorry.”
