If you have been in a relationship for any length of time, I'm talking to you. Tell me the truth, do you let the small stuff, your partner's imperfections, get to you? I cannot tell you how many times I have been guilty of this--yes, I admit it. Interestingly, if you let this happen, your sweetie will never be able to meet YOUR expectations.
Try this over the weekend:
You do want to reduce conflict at home don't you? If so, every time you catch yourself starting to feel even the slightest amount of anger toward your partner because of some stupid little thing they did, or did not do, or said, or did not say--think back to when you first got together. There was something about that person's behavior that grabbed at your heart. I bet you, those behaviors were part of why you fell in love with your partner, or at the least were attracted to them.
Go back in time:
In your head, see, hear, and feel what it was about this person that you so appreciated. Connect to that vision, sound, or feeling. Do this and the small stuff will become inconsequential. When the small irritations are no longer irritations, piece and calm can come over the household--opening the door to renewed passion and excitement.
Have some fun:
Yes, we get so wrapped up in our daily routine that we forget to go out for an evening of frivolity, romance, or whatever floats your boats. If you do not break the cycle, boredom is sure to follow. And the cycle starts again, all the little things will again drive you crazy! Happy loving...enjoy your partner this weekend. -Ed Rigsbee
