TIP OF THE WEEK
Adding credit to the ‘relationship account’.
When we start out together our relationship blossoms with all the ‘nice’ things we
think about, say or do for each other.
We are putting credit into our ‘relationship
account’. These credits quickly mount up to provide a buffer of good feelings to
fall back on during those occasional moments of disagreement.
As our relationship
matures we become more certain of each other and may begin to take for granted all
those little things we did in the early days. Our contribution to the credit balance
dwindles and we may find increasing withdrawals taking place!
Then we notice our
balance is insufficient to cope with a major problem and we may find the relationship
account is overdrawn or worse still bankrupt.
So here’s a way to build up the credit
balance and spend some time playing together to confirm your deeper feelings for
each other.

in two parts;

visiting some friends?” B “No, I’d rather ... Stay at home!”
Stop this part before
you lose the will to live and move on to part two.
A “Let’s go for a walk”. B “Yes!
And then let’s ... find some trees to climb!”
A “How about visiting John & Jane?”
B “Yes! And then lets ... go on to the seaside for an ice cream!”
The trick here
is to see just how silly you can make the “And then let’s” When you can no longer
talk through the laughter you can stop. This turns into a good game to enliven the
family at Christmas too.
