Thought for Today!

LoveNote. . . For Women Only – Be patient with your love partner when it comes to listening. Help him learn to listen by saying things worth listening to. In time he will learn how to share how he feels, openly and in a way that allows him to be vulnerable without fear. When this happens, initiate conversation that shows your appreciation of his new way of being. Patience and understanding are necessary. – Larry James

For Women Only

When you feel your love partner lagging behind in the relationship, it is often difficult to back away from what seems to be a responsibility to assist him.

Smothering your lover with attempts to help can give the appearance that you think he is unable to make his own responsible choices.

No one can change anything without the freedom to do so. Smothering feels like ‘no freedom’ to a man. Your energy will soon be depleted if your love partner has little desire to change. Nurture him with your love and support.

Be there when he needs someone to listen.

Only offer help when it is requested.
