Today as I sit here and think, it is the year 2005. Things in my life have changed, I have matured some more, and there are events or "non-events" I miss.
Do you remember when your romance started? The beutiful flowers (for women), the well thought little gifts you gave or received... What ever happened to all that?
To maintain a relationship alive and thriving, both people must continue trying to surprise the other. All those "small insignificant details" (as they are sometimes called), those are the ones that make the mountain!
What is the point of doing one gigantic spectacular thing every light year, when what really warms the heart are those small insignificant details?
Life is busy, I know, we seem not to have enough time for ourselves. Then you must ask: How can I find the time to shop, find and/or surprise for my loved one? You simply make the time. Instead of golfing 18 holes, golf 9. Instead of having coffee or drinks at happy hour with friends for hours, take less time with that and put some time and thought on your companion, your loved one.
Making an extra cup of coffee is not hard. Not only make yours, make the coffee of your mate. Buy a flower at the seven-eleven instead of only buying cigarrets or beer. Make a note and slip it in the briefcase, saying "I love you, hon". There are many little things that will spark that warm and fuzzy feeling of love.
Lets not forget the reason we got together. To love each other, to grow together, to raise a family, to enjoy life. When the kids are grown there will only be the two of you left. Perhaps then you will notice the things you are guilty by omission and it might be too late!
You mustn't forget to ge thoughtful, considerate and above all loving. Don't be "Guilty by omission". Remember that...
