The depth of our love can be measured by our efforts. We demonstrate our love when we take that extra step. - Harville Hendrix

We could all use a little creativity when it comes to speaking love and appreciation to others. Here are some suggestions that will help get you started:
WORDS OF AFFIRMATION: Before you sit down to eat, place a label or sign on each chair describing who is to sit there—“Best husband/wife in the world,” “My favorite person,” “My little princess.” Watch their faces light up and their love tanks fill.
... ACTS OF SERVICE: If someone you know is extremely busy or entrenched in a project, order them a pizza delivery. Pay for the pizza ahead of time (tip included), and see if they will include a little note as well. If not, you can always text and let them know something special is on the way.
GIFTS: Subscriptions can be a nice gift once you are aware of someone’s interest. Whether for a magazine, media platform, online course, or other, surprise your loved one or coworker with a free month or year to something they will enjoy.
QUALITY TIME: Shopping can sometimes be a chore, but you can also make it fun by intentionally creating the space for quality time in the midst of it all. Plan a quick date at a favorite coffee shop in between stores, or swing by that lunch place you both enjoy—whatever you decide, make sure to take the time to really enjoy and be present with the person you are with.
PHYSICAL TOUCH: When there is a distance between you and the person you love, what can you do? Try sending something tactile that reminds your special someone of you. It could be a warm sweater spritzed with your favorite scent or a stuffed animal that can snuggle with them in your stead. There are meaningful ways to “touch” at a distance, but creativity is key.

Relationship reminder💑

A relationship is about growth! It is not necessarily about always being happy. Relationships go through stages and cycles. The job of the couple is to repair and reconnect when there is a rupture. Frustrations, ups & downs happen for all of us. Its just that our mindset is different ie. we see the relationship as a wonderful opportunity to grow and develop both individually and as a couple. Just that one simple insight that a relationship is about being a more conscious individual and couple can make a huge difference.

Appreciation in a relationship can literally transform a relationship from good to great. Try finding one new appreciation each day to share with your spouse or partner. Some couples have a created a ritual to share one heartfelt appreciation each day. Try that for 30 days and see what happens...

Alanis Morissette is a big fan of Imago relationship therapy and coaching. Here she talks briefly about Imago Couples Therapy https://bit.ly/1Gqt2w9

If you accept that a relationship is here to make you conscious instead of happy, then the relationship will offer you salvation, and you will be aligning yourself with the higher consciousness that wants to be born into this world. Eckhart Tolle

These are common behaviors in some relationships but when they occur frequently they can push your partner away. https://bit.ly/2Jr1uAi #Relationships

“A genuine relationship is one that is not dominated by the ego with its image-making and self-seeking. In a genuine relationship, there is an outward flow of open, alert attention toward the other person in which there is no wanting whatsoever.” - ECKHART TOLLE

“When we meet an Imago match, that chemical reaction occurs, and love ignites. All other bets, all other ideas about what we want in a mate, are off. We feel alive and whole, confident that we have met the person who will make everything all right.” — Harville Hendrix #Relationships #Love #Couple
