No matter what, but I think that working on our relationships by having respect for each other and really listening to each other is the primary aspects of having a wonderful relationship.
Let me tell you, it beautifies us from the inside out. Harmony is peaceful and relaxing. When we don’t have to worry about saying or doing anything wrong it makes us feel loved and it is rejuvenating.
Just yesterday I went with my husband to our local book store (again) and we had a great time together.
We both love books. We usually take a whole bunch of books and sit down in the sitting area to find out more closely what the books have to say. We go by title or subject. Mostly subjects. After we have discussed each book enough we decide at least on two books to buy.
But the best is yet to come.
After we are don shopping books we sit down at the book store’s little Starbucks café and have a hot chocolate with whip cream. Oh, it is so good. While sipping our hot chocolate we have time to talk and have fun. It is the best time ever.
By the way, we have a date night every week and sometimes it is all day.
We both love photography and once in a while we go on a little trip with our cameras and enjoy finding great vistas to photograph.
Sometimes we play pool and sometimes we go to the BYU ice cream place and enjoy the exciting life that is going on there among the students.
All this strengthens our relationship enormously. We always have a wonderful time together. It is so refreshing and makes us feel so delightfully young.
A positive attitude in life is making our whole self extremely peaceful and that again is an unbelievable Fountain of Youth.
Nothing makes our face look more youthful and beautiful then peace and joy and excitement. I truly believe in this Fountain of Youth.
Don’t sweat the small stuff and start enjoying life.
Always Your Beauty in Mind,
Elke Houghton at Juvele
