Good day! I've had quite the blogging hiatus lately but am currently curled up on the couch taking breaks in between chapters of Reamde and thought I'd finally get back on here. Jordon and I had our three year anniversary last week. There seems to be a lot of couples breaking up lately. I started to wonder if there was something in my relationship that I had to work on, something that I had to compromise on, something that could unfold into a bigger problem that would lead to my relationships' untimely demise.... and there was only one thing... this mindset. Just being in love and not over-thinking it is what makes my relationship with Jordon so strong! We know we love each-other, but as actions speak louder than words, SHOWING that we love each other is another reason our relationship is awesome.
I wanted to share some ideas on how to show your man that you love him. Woman seem to be easy in this aspect (hello chocolate), but after three years, I have figured out some easy ways to show Jord my love.
1. Buy Him a Drink
This has been my easy go-to when Jordon's having a rough day/week. Coming home to some beer or scotch shows that he was on my mind and that I would like to make it a little better.
2. Give Him some Space
When I need to feel the love, all I want is to curl up, hold on and not let go.... ever. This one was a bit tough for me to come around too, but because I love spending time with Jord, he knows I'm respecting his wants when I give him his space.... which is usually a small space the size of a computer desk.
3. Take an Interest in His Hobbies
I don't have much knowledge when it comes to investing or gaming, but that doesn't mean I don't try! I've learnt more than I can remember about Oblivion in the last little while and I have now realized I should drag Jordon to all my bank appointments.
4. "Make Him a Sandwich"
Don't yell at me. I am not an awful woman who thinks you need a man or you should give your life up for a man.... but having supper or breakfast ready is another easy way to show your man you're thinking of him. Most nights we make supper together, but occasionally one of us will cook for the other, which I can say feels awesome when you come home in no mood to cook.
And there you have it! I guess the most important thing is to find a way to show your SO you love them and make sure you're with someone who's willing to do it back!
