Cultivating Trust

Self-knowledge, shaped by life experience, refined by decent intentions, and applied thoughtfully, builds inner trust - a prerequisite for mutual trust. ---- Steve Bober

"I Apologize, I Was Wrong"

If you have hurt your loved one....... do the work to make things right. Never be afraid to say "I was wrong".

Do "good" relationships have disagreements?

Of course they do. All relationships have disagreements. In fact, it is hard to find a relationship where everyone agrees on everything all the time. When you see this, ask yourself "what am I hiding, what are they hiding"? Remember.....nobody agrees all of the time.

That's the Guy

“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her'." --- Anonymous

How to be an Empowered Couple

Remember..... to be part of an empowered couple you must first be empowered yourself. "Fix" yourself before trying to "fix" your mate.

Making Your Relationship Work

Remember that your mate is not there to "make" you happy, but to add to the happiness you already have.
