Loving …and Respecting
“Loving a partner goes without saying. There’s both a comfort and casualness in addressing your husband/wife/significant other with “I love you”. The words trip off the tongue quite easily and sometimes conveniently – assuring the other you care without needing to invest too much in the moment. No need to ponder further as both of you have heard the phrase countless times or maybe not. What takes greater personal pause is not only loving a beloved one but respecting them, too. “Yes, I love you (but you really don’t know what you’re talking about.)” “After all, I know best…” as you half listen to them, distracted by the latest CO-VID update. Let yourself look at your partner with renewed eyes of respect. You might find yourself welling up – surprised that those old genuine feelings of love are still there within you.”
To your Happiness,
