Ways To Say I Love You
Valentine’s Day is almost here! We dream of the perfect day, the perfect guy or girl and that perfect gift! This will be the day that defines the relationship for many, and the undoing of the relationship for others.
Relationships and marriages are in crisis more than ever nowadays. We as a country are confronted with financial woes that are leaving their mark on our homes, our jobs and most importantly our relationship with our loved ones. When stress levels reach a breaking point, the marriage or relationship most definitely suffers.
The state of our economy is creeping into our lives in numerous ways. Politics are served up as a main course and issues of libido end up on the table for dessert! Relationships are satiated with burdensome problems resulting in the dissection of the “we” of the relationship. Everyone has a bottom line, a place where you go when you know you can’t handle anymore of what life is throwing at you. The problem with that is you don’t usually take your partner with you to that safe sanctuary. The major complaint in my office nowadays is that the couple has stopped communicating.
The fundamentals of relationship are built on respect, understanding, caring, and ultimately knowing who your partner is. To show that you care deeply for your lover all that is really necesssary is to give a gift that means something to your partner. Dig deep and remember what brought the two of you together, give a gift from the heart and show your special someone that the world wouldn’t be the same without them in it!
The problems of daily life, national financial issues, and the mundane of marriage and relationship eventually take their toll on our personal relationships. You may think that the intimacy of partnership is free of all of these complications, however it isn’t so. Like every body system, we are then affected by both physical and mental factors. Becoming aware of this interconnnection of body and mind is perhaps the first step to rediscovering, the joy of the “WE” of you and your partner this Valentines Day!
