Love Tip of the Month
Every month I’m going to provide a tip. I started out doing it every week but my schedule kept me a little too busy to keep it up. The tips will be directed towards all different types of love for example; Love for God, Love for Self, Love for a Companion, and Love for All.These tips are that of my own opinion and usually derive from things I’ve learned, currently trying to learn, or working towards learning. We all have a journey. Wouldn’t it be nice for someone to offer us some tips along the way.

Love Tip of the Week(Month) - 10/01/2011-10/31/2011
So I realize I’ve been ghost for awhile and for that I apologize. The pace of my life has recently sped up a bit. With that being said I’m going to deliver tips of the month for October.
Tip 1: Encourage your spouse. Do your best to speak nothing negative to or about your spouse for a week, even if they mess up.
Tip 2: Thank your spouse for choosing you. I know the first thing that comes to someone’s mind may be “they’re lucky I chose them!” However, remember you’ve been blessed by the relationship just like they have, so thank him/her for it.
Tip 3: Show that you value your spouse’s career/work. Thank your boo for diligently going to work and using the earnings from that job to help take care of you. A little appreciation goes a long way. = )
Tip 4: Compliment your partner in public (i.e. in front of others). Whether it’s speaking highly of your spouse to someone else in front of your boo, or complimenting your boo directly in front of others. This is guaranteed to get a smile from the one you love.
I hope you make the time to practice these tips! Trust they’re worth a try. Until next time…Speak in Love. = )
Love Tip of the Week - 9/25/2011
This week is a very imperative love tip. It’s truly been a major blessing in my marriage and I know it will continue to be: Pray together. Pray together often, and if possible hold hands while doing it. My hubby and I pray together before meals, throughout the day, and every night before we sleep. We always do our best to pray together, and we’re not afraid to ask the other for prayer. If one of us is sleep before our nightly prayer, then the other will pray as a representative of the marriage. I can’t tell you how much closer it’s brought us and how many potential arguments I’m sure it’s saved us from. Although this is a tip of the week, for us it’s a tip for life. I encourage you to make it a part of your relationship routine as well. Til next time - remember to Speak in Love. = )
Love Tip of the Week - 9/18/2011
This week is going to be something simple from the hubby: “Listening to your partner is just as important as listening to yourself…” let listening take precedence over talking. Genuine listening leads to better understanding, and better understanding leads to a happier relationship. Til next time - remember to Speak in Love = )
Love Tip of the Week - 9/10/2011
Sorry I’m late in getting this out (it’s been 1 of those weeks), but the love tip of the week is as follows: Show yourself to be a man/woman of sustenance. What nourishment do you provide to those around you? Do those around you describe you as a giver or a taker?
Note: keep in mind that giving nourishment and sustenance is NOT the same thing as controlling someone or giving only when they’re giving to you. True love is not a tit for tat game. Agape love gives nourishment unselfishly, asking for nothing in return and not being bitter when you receive nothing in return. No one said real love is easy. Indeed true love is the greatest workout for our best muscle - the heart.
Note 2: this is not saying stay in bad or draining relationships where you’re mentally, verbally, or physically abused. This is saying when you truly love someone (not just your spouse but family, friends, etc.) there will be times in which you have to provide nourishment to replenish others just like you’ll receive nourishment from others to replenish you when it’s needed. Til next time…
Love Tip of the Week - 8/31/2011
This week, look past your imperfections and focus on the traits you love about yourself. Have a boo? Look past your mate’s imperfections too. Looking past them means actually letting them go, not just remaining silent about it. By focusing on the good, you’ll be able to create more of it. = )
Love Tip of the Week - 8/22/2011
Love tip for this week is to dedicate a love song to your boo. Remind them that through the routine of day to day life, you’re still head over heels for them. Currently waiting for the right one to come along? Then make a love mixtape for yourself. When you exude love, you attract love.
Love Tip of the Week - 8/17/2011
The tip for this week is rather simple, spend some time (maybe 30 minutes or so) to do something your spouse really enjoys, even if it’s not something you’re particularly fond of. Your spouse will appreciate it even if they don’t say anything about it, and who knows maybe next time your mate will offer to do something with you that you know they much rather not! A little love goes a long way, so start showing it. Until next time…
Initial Love Tip of the Week - 8/10/2011
Take time away from the hustle and bustle of life to figure out how you show love to yourself and then…show love to yourself!
Do you like to show yourself love with a spa? Ice cream? Shop? Write? Listen to your favorite music?
The point is whatever you like to do, take time to do it. You deserve to love yourself, and I know you’ve heard it time and time before, but I believe it’s true…”If you don’t love yourself (right), you can’t love anyone else (right).” Yes I added the (right)’s in there. lol. So what do you like to do?
