Marriage and Relationship Counseling: Have someone who smiles right back at you.

What does it Mean?

Let’s keep it real, I have been called an idealist when it comes to this, especially on my views in marriage and relationships, but why not? Shouldn’t we strive for nothing but the best for ourselves?

Let’s be realistic, I do not mean if you are overweight, you should strive to look like The Rock in Fast and Furious 2.

What I mean is we all have potential and the best, including in our relationships, and that is exactly what we should be striving for. 

The other day I was talking with a friend about a relationship disappointment.

It was how he was describing his relationship with an ex when I looked at him and said, you should want someone that looks at you, smiles, and that smile is just as big as yours. 

Again, is it idealistic: If that’s what you think, sure, definitely not writing this to change an opinion, but is it realistic? Hell Yeah I think it is.

The other day I said to my girl, I wanna have the same smile on my face, I do when I look at you a year from now, and if I don’t that is definitely my problem (accountability).

How To Move it Forward: 

Men: Can you just look at your wife, or girlfriend or in a moment just smile, even with a small simple thought, of I am just happy to be home with her. 

Men: Even simpler, can you just grab your wife, look at any given moment, and just smile. 

Also is it reciprocated back? That’s important and if not, do you want to do something about it? Do you want to work towards having your woman smile right back at you the same way you are smiling at her. 

Ladies: Be Clear Communicate, Don’t be ashamed to tell your man, how much it would mean to you if they just did that little thing.

After all, in life and especially in relationships it really is the little things that count, the moments, the laughter, the banter, the looks, the smiles.
