Give Each Other Your Best

Life gets busy. Often life gets busy with activ­i­ties that really must be accom­plished. But way, way too often, life gets busy with activ­i­ties that we just allow our­selves to become con­sumed by even though they are not pri­or­i­ties. And when this hap­pens, we give up time and energy that we should be reserv­ing for the most impor­tant thing in our lives. True time and energy man­age­ment is address­ing sur­vival, your part­ner, and then every­thing else; in that order. And yes, your part­ner should come before your chil­dren! You raise your chil­dren and they leave you for their own lives. You LIVE your life WITH your part­ner. Quite frankly, if you do not think of your part­ner in this way, we are not sure you have yet totally com­mit­ted to the partnership.

You should always strive to reserve as much of your best for your part­ner, never the left­overs. It is often hard in mod­ern soci­ety, where so many com­mit­ments expect so much from a per­son. But in the end, you have to find a way to save what really mat­ters to the two of you for just each other. That is what will bind the two of you into the one of a true rela­tion­ship. Of course this is ide­al­is­tic and nearly impos­si­ble to really achieve. But it should be what each part­ner­ship strives for. Be able to talk to each other with­out being dis­tracted by other thoughts and con­cerns. Save energy and time for unrushed sex, as often as you both desire. Save time for quiet time to just be together. Save time and energy to help your part­ner with activ­i­ties they con­sider a bur­den. Share each other’s lives; the plea­sures, the bur­dens, the quite moments, all aspects. Make each other a pri­or­ity not an afterthought.
