Welcome and thank you for being here!
We've had great feedback from our last couple blog post, thank you, we truly appreciate you and your support!
How do we tolerate each other 24/7? Our five steps...lol...
We've been asked this so many times...how do we not only live together but work together and have for most of our marriage!?
Easy first step, lol, lol, agree to disagree, lol, for real...reason...everyone has their own opinions, mindsets, feelings, thoughts and much more so no, there is no way you will EVER agree on everything, NEVER, lol so understand that and your one step to a lifetime of happiness, lol!
Important: never, NEVER go to sleep mad at each other, always say "I love you; I accept you as the person you are, and I agree to disagree!" From best friends to soul mates, relationships are NOT easy, you MUST have respect, mad love, honor, trust and common interest, so yes, you have to be ready to 'give and take' because a good relationship is equal, not 70/30 nothing but 50/50! 2nd step, lol!
Extremely important: communication is key in any relationship; I feel communication is what most everyone struggles with and yes, even after all these years, we have difficulty sometimes but it's usually something that is going to make the other one worry or get upset, and it's not because we lack love, trust or anything like that but simply because of our love for each other and the need to 'be protective' instead of sharing the pain, sorrow or even rage, lol! Communicate, 3rd step, lol!
Fun 4th step: this is fun and important, date each other, lol, truth, you need to still date, no matter how long you've been together! Marriage counselors actually recommend partners go on a date at least once a month, if not more! We go on a weekly date, we have our 'regular' places, but we like to try new places once a month, because we feel 'variety is the spice of life, lol!' And we do this often, go on spontaneous dates, they are the best, pick a time when you or your partner feels stressed, mad or just need to breathe, it's a way to refresh and recharge so make sure you go on surprise date every now and again!
Last but never least: stay intimate, lol, no joke, intimacy is a vital part of a healthy, strong relationship. Hold hands and make out with your partner, hug them for no reason, make them feel safe! Surveys has suggested, lol, no joke, go naked or wear sexy lingerie/underwear, allow your partner to 'see' you, this also allows your partner to feel sexy and a chance for you to tell them how beautiful/handsome/sexy they are, it is important for everyone to feel good about themselves! Always remember, your partner needs to feel special, they need to be heard, and they must feel not only loved but to feel you're 'in-love' with them! Take time to ask your partner how they're feeling and make time to listen, read that again, lol. Keep in mind, it doesn't have to be dark to be intimate, spur of the moment keeps the sparks alive and dare to try new things, lol. Flirt with your partner, make a habit of leaving sexy/love/romantic notes, buy your partner flowers/perfume/cologne. Put on some music, dance naked with your partner, light candles, run a warm tub of water and invite your partner to a nice, relaxing bath, lol, anything to make sure your partner always feels loved, in-love, special, safe and beautiful/handsome/sexy! We feel step 5 is the most fun, lol!
We hope you found humor and delight in our '5 steps to love 24/7'! If you have any steps or suggestions for nurturing relationships, please feel free to leave a comment!
Random thought of the Day: A society that conceals cures to profit from selling medication is not a true society but rather a mental asylum. Do you agree?
Health tip: Walking for 75 minutes a week can extend your lifespan by two years. Engaging in 40 minutes of walking three times a week can protect your memory. Daily walks of 30 minutes can decrease the risk of depression by 36%, as well as lower the chances of developing type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and certain cancers. An hour of walking each day can halve the risk of obesity. Walking enhances sleep quality and mood, boosts immunity, and supports heart and bone health. If you're able to walk, please do so, and remember, there are apps available on phones and computers to assist those who are bedridden. However, always consult your doctor before making any changes to your exercise routine or diet.
Wellness tip: Taking a detox bath at least once a week for 20-30 minutes is advisable, and more frequently if possible. Detox baths not only remove toxins but also aid in improving skin conditions, reducing stress, balancing pH levels, enhancing heart and lung health, and alleviating pain and muscle soreness. Note that you may experience flu-like symptoms during the detox process, which varies based on the toxins being eliminated. I offer exceptional, award-winning bath soaks with numerous positive reviews. Feel free to place an order; they are handcrafted with various sizes and scents, using organic ingredients, and are made with love, prayer, and a healing intention.
