You know as a reader I frequently find things in my email that I use. I found a great one this morning. The ads started with a recipe of how to make Iced Coffee. Let me copy and paste that part of the ad here.
Well, here’s a recipe for Iced Coffee:
1. Make coffee.
2. Get married and have kids.
3. Forget you made coffee.
4. Drink it cold.
I had to say after reading it, “How true.” You can get so busy with everything in your life that small things don’t get taken care of. The ad was directed at the intimacy side of marriage and how should not be forgotten. They had promised if you bought what they were selling it would cure this problem for you.
The premise of this ad works. Although I’m not sure if you bought their product which appeared to be an e-book if it would solve your Iced Coffee problems. I think however we can use our common sense to solve these problems. The first part of the problem is just recognizing that we have gotten so busy small things are not being taken care of in our relationship. Start by thinking of little things such as touch. In a busy morning as you get ready to go to work and trying to get the kids off to school when you walk by your partner, just touched their shoulder and say “I love you” and continue on. This is not only good for your relationship, but it models for your children what a loving relationship looks like. Show your respect for your partner by displaying your best manners. Never forget to say please or thank you and you might even to add thank you “dear.” These are just two of the small things that take no time out of your busy schedule but make sure your relationship never becomes Iced Coffee.
