It’s so often said that "Kids Come First." However the way most parents perceive this is exactly why relationships begin to disconnect, because they stop making time for each other.

Putting your partner first doesn’t mean you love your children any less. In fact, it means you love them more.

Why, you ask?
When you stay loving and connected as a couple, you provide your children with a nurturing, harmonious environment where they can truly thrive.

You show them what love looks like, how to treat one another in a relationship, and what it means to be respected and valued.
👉🏻"You are their teachers."

Take a moment to reflect on your own childhood.
What do you remember about your parents' relationship?

Did they show affection and speak respectfully to each other? Did your younger self feel their love? Or did you see and hear arguments with little to no affection, so much so that you "felt" the disconnect between them?

There’s no relationship school. What you observed as a child became your relationship education. For some, it was a healthy example; for others, it wasn’t.

You may have consciously decided to change certain things you didn’t like growing up, promising yourself you wouldn’t repeat them with your own children. However sometimes, without realising it, we repeat the very patterns we swore we wouldn’t only becoming aware years later.

When your children witness love, respect, and connection, they learn what healthy relationships look like.

💛 What’s one thing you do to stay connected with your partner while raising your children?

🌹 Love Beyond One Day 🌹

Valentine’s Day, the day where love is suddenly in the spotlight. The flowers, the chocolates, the grand gestures... however what about tomorrow?

Love isn’t meant to be a once-a-year performance. It’s the way you cherish each other "every day" in the quiet moments, in the laughter, in the challenges, in the small gestures that say
"I see you, I hear you, I respect you, I appreciate you, and I choose you."

True love isn’t about proving something to the world with Instagram worthy snapshots or extravagant gifts and displays.
It’s about the deep respect, 100% trust, unwavering support, and genuine connection that is nurtured daily.
Showing up and being there for each other unconditionally when no one is watching.

So today, instead of just celebrating love, commit to living it.
💛 Speak love.
💛 Show love.
💛 Choose love "every single day".

Because a love that is real doesn’t need a calendar reminder.

✨ Finding happiness in a relationship when you're not happy within yourself is like trying to build a house on shaky foundations.

Your own well-being is the cornerstone of a healthy, lasting relationship. Without it, cracks begin to form, small misunderstandings grow into larger conflicts, and emotional reliance on your partner can lead to imbalance and disconnect.

When you’re unhappy within yourself, it’s easy to look to your partner to fill the gaps, to make you feel whole, or to carry the weight of your struggles. However true happiness isn’t something someone else can give you.
It’s something you must cultivate within.

Take time to nurture your own emotional wellness, honour your own needs, and reconnect with what brings *YOU* joy.
By doing so, you will create a stronger, more stable foundation not only for yourself but also for your relationship.

👉🏻The truth is this:
When you show up happy, grounded, and fulfilled within yourself, you bring the best version of *YOU* to the partnership and that’s where real connection and happiness flourish.

💔Forgiving an affair in a relationship is a difficult and personal process. It involves time, open communication, and a willingness to work through the pain.

Trust is one of the two foundational pillars of any relationship. When that trust is violated, the emotional damage can feel deeply personal and overwhelming which can disconnect a relationship instantly.

Here are some steps you can consider:
1. Acknowledge your emotions: Allow yourself to feel hurt, angry, and betrayed. It's essential to process these emotions before attempting forgiveness.

2. Communicate with your partner: Have an honest conversation about the affair, expressing your feelings and concerns.
Identify why it happened and a heads up "I don't Know" doesn't cut it.. and if your partner is genuinely remorseful.

3. Seek support: Consider speaking with a relationship coach, a marriage counsellor, or a support group to assist you process the emotional turmoil.

4. Set boundaries: Establish clear boundaries for rebuilding trust and rebuilding your relationship.
An important part of rebuilding trust is first you must be clear on what you need for that trust to begin to rebuild. Be sure that you convey those needs to your partner so they are clear on what they need to do.

5. Be patient: Forgiveness is more about your partner than the act, it takes time and effort. Give yourself the time you need to heal, and be patient with your partner as they work to regain your trust.

Remember, forgiveness isn't about excusing the behaviour or reconciling immediately. It's about finding a way to forgive the person you love and move forward that allows both of you to heal and grow.

Blessings 💛
