I had to help a lady out yesterday with an application. The husband called and drove down to where I was and because it was something that would take like 30mins, we were in the car working on it.
It was an SUV van, so the children were also in the car. We tried logging into the site through the PC and it wasn't successful. I am a quiet person but I notice almost everything that goes on around me.
From when I was picked till when we started the application and finished, the husband was trying everything to make sure that we were comfortable and had all that we needed to complete the process.
It's the second time I am working for this couple and the energy has been the same. The husband does everything possible to make sure that the wife has all that she needs to see a particular thing through. I like the energy they use to work together to achieve a common goal for the family.
Some couples are not dovey outside but if you watch how they are concerned about each other's welfare, you'll understand that commitment is worth it. I am sure that it is these little things that keep marriages strong.
I saw a lot of love and care when he asked her to give him the laptop to help her out, and then he asked the kids to be quiet and allow mom to concentrate, then he kept asking through out the period if we were doing okay.
This is the bare minimum; having a partner who is all out to take care of you and all that concerns you. We can see it as something trivial but I can tell you that there are a lot of marriages and relationships that may be lacking this and it is funny that people will remain in these relationships because sometimes they don't know that they deserve better or that they even deserve someone who cares for them.
I'm a sucker for kind gestures. I feel loved when people take notice of little things that concern me and act kindly towards me.
Marriage is about support and partnership.
For this couple, it's about working together to achieve a common goal, each person giving his or her input in the area of their strength.
It's a blessing to have a partner who believes in your dreams and supports your goals. Who lifts you and is proud of your achievements, one who doesn't try to hide you or ask you not to do too much. A partner that pushes you to be the best version of yourself every day.
Doing life with a person such as this can be one of the most beautiful experiences of your life and I hope that if you have someone like this, you hold them close and let them know how much you appreciate them.
