Relationships are mysterious. We doubt the positive qualities in others, seldom the negative. You will say to your partner: do you really love me? Are you sure you love me? You will ask this a dozen times and drive the person nuts. But you never ask: are you really mad at me? Are you sure you’re angry? When someone is angry, you don’t doubt it for a moment. Yet the reverse should be true. We should doubt the negative in life, and have faith in the positive.

I am so blessed to have a life partner like you.

Send your partner text messages throughout their work day. You do not have to send a long message, just an XO or a <3 will let them know that you've found time during your busy day to think of them. A little thought can go a long way.

Call or text your partner to tell them that you've just heard a song that reminds you of them. Each time they hear that song, they will be reminded of the way you feel about them.

Buy your partner a real greeting card, write down your feelings and drop it in the mail. When it arrives, they will appreciate the time you took to shop for a card, write down your feelings and mail it. It will be a keepsake and really stand out from the modern day texts and emails that we've become so used to.

Looking for a suitable partner is like looking for a healthy food. It doesn’t need to be delicious as long as it’s good for the heart.
