It’s the season of giving.
Unfortunately for many that equals financial stress or simply irritation
with our consumerist culture. I would
like to pose the question this season, “How can you bring woo back into your
relationship?” This involves creatively
showing our partners that we think about, understand, love and appreciate them. Too often in long term relationships people
feel taken for granted and this creates distances. At one point the two of you were
strangers. Then there was some
attraction and wooing; that was the beginning the relationship. Humans are creatures of habit. We seek routine to feel safe. Unfortunately routine does not feed our needs
for romance, thoughtfulness, and appreciation.
In asking ourselves questions like, “How can I be more loving?” “How can
I show more appreciation?” “How can I be
more thoughtful?” and answering these questions by taking appropriate actions
we can consciously and intentionally bring romance, woo, and generally positive
sentiment back into our relationship.
What could be a better gift?
