Give Symbols of Your Love

Gifts, surprises, and special events are symbolic ways to express the depth of your love to your special lady. Flowers, jewelry, chocolates, and other small or large glam gifts are always fun to receive. So are shopping sprees, ballet tickets, fancy dinners, and romantic getaways.

But gifts and gestures don’t have to be expensive, a picnic in the park or romantic bath for two is often more heartwarming than a new car, fur coat, or diamond necklace. It’s the thought and symbolism behind the gift or act that makes it wonderful.

If the emotional part of your relationship is not nurtured then your gift of a new Mercedes may just be an empty reflection of the love that is missing. If you spend beyond your means your ladylove may feel angry at your irresponsibility and not receive the love gift as you intended.

Remember that gifts and activities are symbols, a reflection of the love you share together, and quality time and attention are often the best gifts you can give to another person.

Share in the comments below what gifts have been most meaningful to you.

What Makes A Marriage Last?

By Carolyn Flynn

What makes your marriage work? What do you think are the key ingredients for a successful marriage?

Marriages last when both people are committed to the relationship and to each other. Long lasting couples forgive, accept, and love the other person.

Good marriages provide a safe environment for each person to be themselves and express their love.

Healthy couples accept each other, and forgive and forget any wrongs or slights they may experience during the marriage.

Marriages that work are happy marriages made by happy people.

You Deserve A Marriage That Lasts!
