Valentine’s Week… The Care and Feeding of Relationships

Day 43

Affirmation:

I give my relationships my time and positive attention.

I nurture my relationships just as I nurture anything I wish to flourish and grow.

I regularly feed my relationships with the energy they need to thrive.

Nature dictates that the primary element an object or condition is made of must continue to exist as part of its composition or it will decay. For example, the human body is 55-60% water. If we didn’t continually replenish the body with water to keep its base need fulfilled, we would dehydrate and eventually die.  Relationships are no different.  If a relationship is built upon sexual energy it must continue to be fed sexual energy or the base it was built upon will decay.  If a relationship is built upon a base of  love energy, it must continue to be regularly fed the energy of love or its base will also decay.  Feeling lazy, too busy, or taking the relationship for granted is only an option if we don’t care about its success.  Healthy relationships are living things – maturing, evolving, expanding, dynamic entities that require care and attention to sustain them.  And what is true of all living things is true of relationships – what is not fed starves, and what starves, dies.
