I was having coffee with an
associate of mine this morning when he began telling me about how is his wife’s
birthday and their anniversary falls around the same time and just how much he
tries to go out of his way during this time of the year to make her happy. I've known the guy for a while now and I couldn’t
help but realize that he does love his family, but he doesn’t really
show that the rest of the year.
I want to share a thought with you today and
hope that you take it with you from now on because is an obvious little thing that be easily overlooked or done to have an amazing long relationship....
Never, ever
go a day without embracing the love you have for your husband or wife.
Guys, be
liberal with sharing your compliments and make telling your wife just how
beautiful she is an every morning event and telling her how lucky you are to have her and for Gods sakes stop
comparing her to your neighbors wife because she is, and if not already should be, the most beautiful
woman for you because she is your wife and she has made a commitment to be
there for you and embrace your faults as well as your strengths while she could
easily give another man the opportunity to truly appreciate her. You knew when
you were dating that her cooking wasn’t her thing, that passion for money and
business was not in her but in you, her waist was probably smaller then but her heart
and love for you have grown bigger than her waist ever could. She has provided you with a
family and the opportunity to prove
yourself a man because being a male does not make you a man just as much as having
a child does not make you a father, you must do what makes your wife proud and
your family honorable and happy.
Women, embrace the faults that your husbands have tell them
how proud you are – of anything- because underneath that rugged exterior we all
crave approval from the one we have chosen to spend our lives with – everything
we do is for women – so let us know what you love about us and what makes you
proud of your husband even if they are seemingly little things like staying
employed for 5 years, going to church on Sundays instead of watching the
football game, washing dishes, trying for that management job even if he doesn't
get it, being nice your family. Is easy to see his faults, you might say well I
could praise if he was less of this and more of that but when you were dating
you knew him and loved him regardless of his many faults, don’t fall out of
love by focusing on the little bad things.
A good way to heal your home is by
praising each other every day, yesterday’s “I love you” is not good enough for
today – repeat it daily, tell each other how much love you have for one another
on a regular basis because these spoken words are the glue that keep
relationships together during shaky
times. We always see families falling apart because things get too comfortable
and the parents only express their love one day of the year with a cheap mass
produced card and some flowers but ignore the reasons of the relationship the
rest of the year.
If you have children this is very important, fathers should
know that your daughter will learn the value of true family love and
relationship by seeing how you are with mom, and your degree of attention to
her actions and life if you fail her she will spend the rest of her life
seeking that attention and love from many men without really knowing how to
identify it but the love she is really looking for is that from her dad. If you
have a son, know that he will grow up to be just like you in many ways and one
of those way is his behavior towards women, your son will treat your wife when
he is an adult the way you treat her now and his own wife will get the same
treatment as you show your own wife and his mother. Moms, please treat your
husband the way you wish your son to be treated, praise them and let them know
each day that they are a gift in your life. A family is a powerful organism
that creates innovation, disruption, communities or chaos and violence, learn
to speak your emotions and complements because with complements and
understanding for one another your family will only rise and continue to rise
to great success and long lasting
legacy.
Once you have a family everything you do is deeply
intertwined – So learn to walk together and hold each other up because when you
put each other down you really are putting yourself down and spoiling your own opportunities.
If you are a professional or hustler, don’t be the best athlete, richest
business person, famous, have the most friends, best shape, best job at the
expense of your family, spend time with them and make them a priority because
only when you learn to do that will your real greatest success in life become a
reality. #unthink
