In our contemporary world the emphasis is on BIG

Who is winning the Olympics, the SuperBowl…

Who is becoming a millionaire or billionaire

Are you with your "Soul Mate?"

When life – as lived in the every day real world – is often most meaningful and pleasurable when small acts of kindness are given and received.

It's raining hard today.

It could be snowing… might start any minute.

We are at that elevation where it can go either way this time of year.

Kinda gloomy… but when I look at the wet ground, all kinds of new shoots are coming up.

The Iris in the pond edge are starting to show.

Is this the time of year to let love bloom again?

Don't be sad, it doesn't have to be winter in your relationship.

Let spring start early!

I often hear people use the word "trust" in marriage, like "I don't feel I can trust him anymore."

It goes along with the phrase "unconditional love."

There are no such things in mature relationships.

If you are still depending on these things to be present in your relationship, you are being a child and under a spell of fantasy.

In mature relationships of ALL kinds, not only marriage, our reliance on another person is based on experience and judgment, not upon blind trust.

I suggest you use the word "confidence" instead of trust.

Confidence can be earned and it can be lost.

It helps put mature relationships into proper focus when you see that they are actually conditional and dependent upon good behavior.

Earn confidence and expect your partner to earn your confidence.

This headline in the news today reminded me of a lot of relationships I've observed.

"George Agrees to Indirect Talks with Jeannie"

"Tina Agrees to Indirect Talks with Sam"

Sound familiar?

How about some direct talks?
