Love each other well. Forgive easily. Care deeply, knowing you are deeply cared for. You have no greater purpose on this earth than to love the one in front of you.
Cherish your partner. Are you feeling lonely, isolated, or distanced from your partner? That feeling is what you experience when you are distanced from yourself. Come into the fulness of your love for your partner, and discover the depth of your own self love.
Many believe you need to love yourself before you are truly capable of loving another. But it works the opposite way as well. In expressing into a relationship with non-judgement and kindness, you learn to treat yourself with non-judgement and tenderness.
Conversely, when you treat another unkindly, subjecting them to the glaring light of judgement, you treat yourself unkindly and subject yourself to judgement.
In every dealing with your spouse or parter, as the questions, “What does kindness look like in this moment? How does kindness feel in this moment? What is the most perfect expression of kindness in this situation?”
Many relationships are like a barren desert, devoid of even a single word of kindness. Many have suffered days, months, even years with a heart parched for lack of the tiniest drop of love. For these precious souls, kindness offers life-giving, heart quenching water.
Kindness is the life-blood of relationship. Without it, hope withers and dies.
Make kindness a common goal in your partnership. Tend to one another’s needs, wants, wishes and desires. Dig deeply into the soil surrounding your partner’s heart, saturating those roots with kindness, and your own spirit will surely blossom and grow.
