Kindness

Today’s relationship principle is Kindness.   Kindness in your communication goes a step beyond respect.  When we think about respect, we often think about not saying things that are offensive.  So, being respectful typically means not calling people degrading names such as, stupid, ugly, fat, etc.   Being respectful allows you to have a civil relationship in which people aren't angry in the way they speak and interact with each other.  But, kindness in your conversations with your spouse (or significant other for those who aren't married) helps to build the closeness that will strengthen the relationship.  Kindness is more than something that’s nice to have, it is one of the building blocks that forms the foundation of a strong and lasting love.  It may be worth noting that the word kindness has kin, meaning relative, as its first three letters.  My wife is the kin that I am the fondest of, and hopefully the most kind to.  Who is your closest kin?  How kind are you to your closest kin?  Today’s relationship principle is Kindness.   Be extra kind to your spouse today.  (Now that I have children, I appreciate the joy of nature and animals a lot more; hence, the kindness demonstrated in animal photo above.)

As you think about today’s relationship principle, What is the kindest thing your mate or significant other has said to you or done for you recently?
