Whether its saying “I love you”, “Its going to be okay” or “I’ll be right here when you are done” – everyone needs some kind of reassurance, albeit daily or weekly. I have come to find that my daughter needs it daily, but this is to be expected from a soon to be 5 year old. My son needs it in other ways, whether it’s a 2 minute chat or a hug or just some sort of assurance that we are on the same page as him. My husband on the other hand as well as myself, don’t necessarily need the reassurances from each other as often, but we make each other know that it is a vital part of our marriage.
It is an important part of life ensuring that our loved ones are taken care of emotionally. Life does get crazy and we can loose sight of the fact that we are not paying as much attention to our husbands, wives or children for that matter, thus the relevance of reassuring our families that we love them and appreciate them wholeheartedly. Weekdays are so busy with work, school and routines that we tend to let those things consume us daily. We try to over compensate on the weekends with family time to make up for the lack of it during the rest of the week. As much as trying to make up for it is great, not being consistent throughout the week is not. We see signs of that when our kids rebel during the weekend or when the adults we are trying to make up with tend to not be as receptive. It is vital to try to maintain the consistency of love and reassurance, as difficult as life may get. We need to try to remember the people that matter most in our lives before it is too late. We need to ensure that we love hard just as much as we may work hard! Once we reach that level of balance which doesn’t come easily, we can all be reassured that happiness will be always be achieved ❤
