Relationships are a maturation machine in need of
regular maintenance and fine-tuning.
Valentine’s Day provides an annual reminder to focus on the importance of frequent practices of love, laughter and healing for couples. Relationships are a maturation machine in need of regular maintenance and fine-tuning. Dr. Linda Miles recommends tools to maintain, repair and restore love bonds.
Although this is an easy list to memorize, the difficulty lies in breaking the patterns that prevent maintenance of our desired behaviors. Peggy Papp, a famous family therapist, remarked that we come out of our own family of origin with a “cookie-cutter” approach to life which requires “heroic moments” to reshape our own cookie-cutters. Visualizing your dream relationship several times a day will help begin reshaping your cookie-cutter and allow room for positive maintenance within your relationship.
