Less head-butting and more love!

Hello, pandemic survivors!


Just another day in the office, or should I say another day in yoga pants and on the couch?

As I meditated on a few things in regards to relationships, I was reminded by a friend of mine about a book I let her borrow titled "The One," and as cliche as that sounds, and as much as the term "The One," has been overused, misused and misinterpreted by many, it still holds some kind of value, if seen for what it is meant to be.

This pandemic has either brought you two closer, or apart. Let's just have the talk.
My husband and I don't like to fight. We avoid fighting as much as we can. We feel it's not us, and it is something we never really allowed in our relationship.

I would advice, if you and your partner are butting heads at the moment, give each other space, don't hold grudges, and talk when the time is right! These times bring up abnormal sensitivity, financial stress is on the rise, and surely no one likes to be left in the dark, so try to stay positive, become the best source of support in your home, but also know when to be real about your struggles and talk to your partner!


The more I talk to my husband about social issues, raising children, finances, and life in general, the more I realize I've chosen my true soulmate. Not because we see everything eye to eye, but because we build each other up and help one another understand the meaning of living a purposeful life. I feel this is a more realistic way of defining "The One."

Of course there's the must-haves, uncompromising qualities you want in a partner. By the way if one of those is "a perfect partner," you've completely missed the point.

Similar belief systems, same thoughts on raising a family, finances, lifestyles, and other anchors to having a stable relationship or marriage are crucial and essential for a successful love life regardless if you've been married for a year or for twenty years.

Find someone that challenges you to think about an issue more broadly, someone you can have in-depth conversations without the need to argue.

Relying on the thought of finding a person from your same hometown, religion, career, or same culture isn't good enough! Character goes beyond these shallow categories.

Cheers,
