The importance of things can be measured by how much time we are willing to invest in them. The more time you give to something, the more you reveal its importance and value to you.

Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can’t make more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you’ll never get back. Your time is your life that is why the greatest gift you can give someone is you time.

It is not enough just to say relationships are important; we must prove it by investing time in them. Relationships takes time and effort, and the best way to spell love is “T-I-M-E.”

The essence of love is not we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give ourselves.

Men, in particular, often don’t understand this. Many men said, “I don’t understand my wife and kids. I provide everything that they need. What more could they want?” They want you! Your ears, your eyes, your time, your attention, your presence, your focus-your time. Nothing can take the place of that. Love concentrates so intently on another that you forget yourself at that moment. Attention says. “I value you enough to give you my post precious asset-my time.”

You can give without loving, but cannot love without giving. Love means giving up- yielding my preferences, comfort, goals, security, money, energy or time for the benefit of someone else.

To really smile, remember a happy experience in your life. It doesn’t need to be related to the person you are smiling at, just a time that makes you smile. A time that really made you feel good. As you remember it, your face will want to smile. Let it. That is exactly what you want to have happen. A smile is more than a grin, a smile brings light to your whole countenance.

Have you every tried smiling at complete strangers? I have. Almost without fail they smile back at you. People like to be smiled at, I can’t explain it, but its true. I have smiled at people walking down the street and most will smile back. That in turn makes me feel good because someone is smiling at me. Weird but true.

We may sometimes unfair in any ways to the person we love. We may not always understand his/her side. We may have personality differences and character traits because we are raised by different parents. But if we have something in common that would fill those differences then for sure everything will be alright. We may not be perfect but if the love is there, no matter what happen you will never be apart. The love that we have is our shield; our strong weapon in times of relationship crisis because love makes us strong, will build us into a better person. So keep love in your heart and stay in love.
