Make your partner number one.
Your partner holds a very special position in your life. They are the only family you get to choose, the only person who you must decide to love every day, the only person who has the privilege of seeing every side of you. Honor the specialness of that bond, and make them your top priority.
A job or career won't stick around to care for you when you are sick or sad.
Your house is just a building of four walls and cannot love you back, no matter how much love you feed it.
Your children are special and beautiful, but they wouldn't thrive or even exist without the example of honest love that you and your partner give.
Your hobbies will wax and wane over time, your looks will fade, and even when you are plain, ailing, and old your beloved will stay by your side.
What happens when you treat your darling as number one?
They feel it. They feel the warmth of your love, they feel the respect and admiration, and it pushes them to be a better version of themselves. Your unfailing belief in them and trust in them will propel them to brighter shores. And they give it back to you threefold.
Give it a shot for a week, and watch how your darling glows.

the fact that oranges and clementines are made in a way that you can't help but share them with everyone around you. it's so easy. it's a soft kind of easy and tender love. it's already there made for you. you just have to give in and take the step 🚶
“People need to be encouraged. People need to be reminded of how wonderful they are. People need to be believed in - told that they are brave and smart and capable of accomplishing all the dreams they dream, and more. Remind each other of this.”
— Stacey Jean Speer
The Painted Ladies were so intent upon these flowers that they practically pushed me aside to get to them. Migrating is hungry work.
