Whenever you’ve been asked who your best friend is, I’m sure many of you recall people you know from school, college, work, the neighbourhood, or even family members – yet rarely do we remember the most important companionship right beside us: our partner(Husband/Wife).
Nurturing a strong bond with your special someone is an invaluable asset. This type of connection is everlasting.
Think about how much this bond can bring to one particular individual. If it is nurtured and taken good care of, it can offer a whole new spectrum of experiences to the two involved.
In the hustle and bustle of pursuing a professional life, having kids, watching over family and catching up with pals, we can sometimes forget about nurturing the beautiful bond we have. On top of this, small daily disputes can lead to even worse relationships.
Have you ever noticed, especially in Asian culture, regardless of gender, how much of a priority one gives to their own family? For instance, when a wife says, “my mom is right” and then a husband says, “my mom is right’. How does it even matter whose mom is right? Let’s just agree that they both can be right! By looking at this situation in a different light and not allowing your ego to get in the way, wouldn’t it calm your partner’s anger and start to build a strong relationship based on understanding and mutual respect? Think wisely!
Have you observed that with each passing decade, it appears as though we are adapting to a new way of life? From the way we dress, to our preferences in products, to the use of gadgets, the changes are drastic. Even our psychological perspectives on traditions and beliefs are shifting. For instance:
- The Grandmother warmly says to her daughter: You’re really blessed to have had a glimpse at your spouse’s face before you got married! Unfortunately, I never had that opportunity with your grandfather; we tied the knot without even having met!
- The mother cheerfully says to her daughter: “Look how lucky you are! You were able to get to know your partner before marriage. I only saw a picture of your father and we got married.”
- I bet, we’ll tell our children how lucky they are to get the opportunity to live together with their special someone before tying the knot. Unlike us, who were supposed to get married before being able to get to know each other on a daily basis.
Surprisingly, everything has changed by the passage of time, except the perspective of carrying a beautiful relationship we call, “Husband and Wife”. No matter how much time passes and things evolve, we still don’t make our marriage our top priority. Why is that?
Don’t you think, where we are racing towards advancing technology, we are forgetting the importance of human connections on the other hand? If we continue to overlook the power of love in our lives, we can only expect growing anxiety and unrest in the future.
Before it’s too late, let’s consider, building a strong connection with your partner is an excellent emotional investment. You are investing in the relationship in the form of love, trust, faith, respect, growth, serenity, and friendship – and it’s not only a favour to your partner but to yourself as well. You know when you fall, you got someone behind to hold you tight. You know you can withdraw as much love as you want when you need it. This is your biggest savings.
Engage in conversation as much as you can with your life-partner. Don’t let anything cause this bond to falter. Keep it away from any disturbances or manipulations by outsiders, even from your own family members. Don’t let anyone sully what you have. Save this relationship and cherish it deeply, letting it be the light of your life until you draw your last breath.
You must have heard a quote “Actions speak louder than words”. Do you think it is applicable only to a professional growth? Can’t we use this quote in a personal relationship? Certainly we can.
Rather than simply telling your loved one you care, show it to them in your behavior. Demonstrate that you care with your actions, more so than your words. Make them feel your love!
Love your soulmate!
