As the whole world and the individuals that inhabit it get increasingly cocooned, it is critical that one spends time with one’s family,friends.
While different types of relationships require varied attention, basically they are all crucial to our well being and wholeness.We all require certain relationships in our lives. Some, we wish we could avoid, while others it seems we can never get enough of.In a relationship, clear communication is vital to making things work.In practice, it’s often not so easy to express what you really want to say. All kind of complications can kick in, from a fear of a bad response to choosing the wrong time to talk. bring everything out into the open, It would be a very dull relationship if you agreed about everything. A conflict of opinion is a healthy thing, after all. It shows you’re individuals, capable of forming your own beliefs, as well as debating them. Even if you disagree with each other about major life issues, mutual respect will encourage you to find a way forward.maybe even argue about it a little bit. As long as it gets solved,( you’ll be happy,) and there’s no way for it toget solved unless you let the other person know that it’s a problem.”.Compromise is crucial when it comes to negotiating your way through any relationship. A listening ear and respect for your partner’s viewpoint will ensure you keep talking to one another. Flexibility is what’s needed for a solution you can both agree upon.“It takes two to tango,
Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.”
“Be the kind of person you would like to be with. Some people come into our lives, make footprints on our hearts and we are never the same. People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.”
The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationships a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it.It is a sort of Divine accident. Every choice moves us closer to or farther away from something. Where are your choices taking your life? What do your behaviors demonstrate that you are saying yes or no to in life? The more equally attractive two alternatives seem, the harder it can be to choose between them — no matter that, to the same degree, the choice can only matter less. So long as we love we serve;/ So long as we are loved by others,/ I would almost say that we are indispensable;And no one is useless while they have a friend.
“Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work of many generations. All this is put in your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honor it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on to your children”.- –Albert Einstein.
You cannot always have happiness, but you can always give happiness.

Present your Family and Friends with their eulogies now - they won’t be able to hear how much you love them and appreciate them from inside the coffin.

That last line of your post is really powerful. We never know how much time we will have here on earth with those we love, so we need to love them and let them know we are loved while we have the chance. Thank you for this reminder.

been married for 22 years and i must say what makes me and wifey communicate well with each other all these years is … we both hate Manchester United!
Unfortunately, our 3 sons are MU fans and lately our communication is like we have to whisper to each other which to some extent makes the communication better.
We are a bit more pissed as our two daughters are converted into gunners by their boyfriends … grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
There goes our dream … to have a family of scousers
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
