My Mom and Dad were married over 50 years and had a great marriage and strong love. They had a Relationship for Life until my dad passed away in 2008. I wrote a book in the honor of my dad and the life he lead, it is called Mills Way to Richer Living. He did what relationship excerpts and marriage prep classes tell you to do he put my my number one in his life. She was above us kids, his job, his hobbies, his folks and brothers and sisters. That is what you will learn from relationship experts and marriage prep classes but people sometimes lose focus on this.

Also he loved my mom for who she was, what she thought, what she did. He didn’t ever tried to change her or complain to her. He knew criticism does not have a place in a positive relationship. It usually is a symptom of one person trying to change another person to meet their own standards. By criticizing your spouse or your friends you send them a very clear message that you are not acceptable the way they are.

You, however, do not make the rules about what is acceptable. Your goal should be to learn to accept their differences and appreciate what makes them unique without trying to make them more like you. When I was growing up my father was a wonderfully positive role model. He never nagged or complained about anything. I’m sure at times it was hard for him to bite his tongue, but he never let us know about it. We always felt accepted and loved for who we were and what we were doing.

So how do you show your spouse, kids, relatives and friends how much you love them. Do you Honor them or do you try to change them. I say we need to appreciate them and be grateful for our relationships with them. Show them how much you appreciate them and try not to nag or complain about anything. As Gary Smalley says “Dead Bolt your Mouth”. What great advice. Show your Spouse , Girlfriend or Boyfriend that they are number one in your life over all others and see how your relationship grows even stronger.
