Back to two...

Everyone loves the newness of a new relationship, the butterflies you feel when you see the person after a separation no matter how long or short the separation has been, the I can keep my hands off you, the I want to spend every waking moment with you, etc...you get the idea!!

The challenge is keeping those feelings alive long term. Keeping the newness and spontaneity going after being together for a while. 

Back to Two

begins with everything new and exciting

never knowing what to expect is invigorating

spontaneous kiss, a simple touch sends you over the edge wanting more

 

comfortableness and contentment settle in

years go rocking by, American dream is achieved

time is spent keeping up with the world, home, work, kids, family and friends,

less spontaneity and excitement

 

kids gone living their own lives

contentment becomes stagnant

excitement gone nothing new

spontaneous kissing seldom simple touches are few

all seems right on the outside, inside is dying

 

a dance in the kitchen while cooking

beer on a Tuesday night 

brief love note in lunch box

phone call in the middle of day

 

Hopeful, spontaneity, excitement and newness

being brought back to life

newness and excitement from the old is accomplished - awesome

 

 

Relationships are hard, whether it's parent/child, boyfriend/girlfriend, sibling/sibling, husband/wife all relationships take time, patience, understanding, forgiveness, praising and brutal honesty.

 

Learn from the relationships you have built, keep making them better.  Use the knowledge to build future relationships.  Just remember no two relationships are alike and each require their own unique touches.

 

There are no right or wrong answers and there is no instruction book...

 

Life is good, keep it real
