BEING AVAILABLE EVEN IF YOUR THERE.

The world, as we view it today has become so stressful and demanding. With so much tension from work, environment, and society, you tend to exhaust all your time and energy to meet its demands. By the time you come home to your cozy little home, you are already too tired and expired to make quality time for your marriage.

This is a sad fact today. Many marriages crumble down with reason that their partner does not have time for them or no longer available for the relationship. Being available does not only mean being physically present. Beyond sharing one bed and one home, it is necessary that you are emotionally available to your partner as well. It may sound so proverbial, but actually, it is a basic act. Availability when it comes to marriage is regarded as fundamental since the moment you said “I do”, you both agreed to be WITH each other ‘til death do you part.

Being available means is allowing yourself with your partner’s feeling and setting aside your own agenda just for the time being. Most people regard this as a form of “empathy” wherein you sense and understand someone else is feeling as if they are your own. Once you get the grasp of it, you are now being emotionally available to your sweetie.

Listening is also a means to be available to your partner. It is a lot different from hearing. In listening, you do not interrupt your honey while he or she is making her point just for you to tell your story. Instead, you make open-ended questions to show that you actively engaged with his or her tale.

However, in situations where it is impossible to be physically present, you can still make yourself available. Thanks to technology, communicating to our love ones is no longer difficult. It is an era of text messaging, emailing, and web chats. Therefore, you have no excuse that you cannot make yourself available to your partner.

The best expression of love is time. The time you spend with your sweetie is always an act of caring. Making time for your love one will always assure that your relationship with hi or her is important to you. Even if you are miles away from each other, the greatest gift you can give to your spouse is your time.
