I wasn’t really digging my husband this weekend. We just weren’t getting along, everything he did was just getting on my nerves (I’m sure he felt the same way). Because I was feeling that way I wasn’t feeling my normal lovey dovey self. So, not as many touches, kisses, honeys, or I love yous! I didn’t feel very good about that but that is how I was feeling.
Every morning that we are not together, which is typically 4 out of 7 mornings a week. My husband will send a good morning text, he’ll send it first since he gets up earlier, I will read and respond a couple of hours later. Of course, some mornings are better than others. This morning he sent me an average text, and my first instinct was to send a lackadaisical response without putting much thought into it, but instead I paused for a second and thought about what I really wanted to say. So, I took the time to say something loving and love my man back
, even though I wasn’t feeling loving.
Lesson 1: Love Him Anyway
Love is a Verb… an action word! Be loving and you will feel love! The more I held back, the worst I was going to feel about him and over time those feelings fester and create bad relationships.
Lesson 2: Don’t Let Unloving Feelings Take Over Your Relationship
You are in control over those feelings.
Lesson 3: Talk About It
Tonight I plan on sitting down with him and just tell him what is bugging me. I just realized that there is something bugging me that I haven’t been talking about. It is unfair to just hold on to resentment without giving your partner the opportunity to work through it with you.
Lesson 4: Instead of Complaining , Make A Request
We all deserve great relationships!
