girls vs. guys

For a relationship to work, sometimes a husband or wife need to acknowledge things that the other person is doing in order to have them feel better about themselves. Not that they need you to do that because they have God for that. But, sometimes it is nice to hear a “thank you for doing the dishes” or a “you didn’t have to do the laundry. Thank you.” Small acknowledgements like this go a long way. For girls, sometimes we just want that other person to just be there with us. We need the physical encouragement. For guys, it may be words of affirmation that they are very much needed in your life otherwise you would not know what to do with yourself. Girls and guys are completely different with the various ways of feeling special in their spouse’s life. The small things that the men do in our lives, go such a long way, it’s kind of ridiculous. When I came back to my apartment this past weekend, I hopped in my car and my gas tank was full. I thought I was going to have to go fill it up with money I didn’t have. I found out that my dad took the liberty to go fill up my gas tank because he cares about me. That is something that he knows I need but if he can help me out in this tiny way then there is less for me to worry about. Thanks dad!!! I love it when he does stuff like that for me. It makes me know how much he truly does love me. So, even if you may not have a significant other yet (because I know I don’t), then use this time in your life to show those around you that you love and care about them. Men, take your mom out for lunch date ON YOU! Or help do the dishes or clean the house. I know I hate asking if there is anything that I can help with but I know that in order to make both our lives easier, asking them if they need help will actually get the job done faster. So, pitch in here and there and it will make everyone’s lives a lot easier and you will be blessed later when you are with someone and you start doing things for them out of habit. Trust me, they will be eternally grateful. Once someone starts seeing the love that someone acts upon them, they tend to reciprocate to show their love back.
