Keep Building!

If you have followed the blog from the first post until this last post, you have placed a foundational block of communication down and built up from there!  Questions relating to love, emotions, faith, money and many other areas of relationship will continue to be important ( and fun!) to ask your partner as time goes on. The answers may stay the same or they may change. The way you are placing the blocks may be rearranged and distributed differently, but the goal is that you do this building TOGETHER!

Come back to this blog over and over to remind yourself of questions to get you talking and steps to take to help resolve conflict. Do what children do , as they build with blocks. Get down on the floor, so to speak, start with one block. Pick it up carefully. Handle it gently. Place it on a level , secure place. Then pick up another one. With concentration and determination ( maybe a little anxiety) precisely place one on top of the other and keep building! 

Sometimes the shape will change or need to be rearranged. If the blocks crash down and fall, see which ones are still in place and just build up from there again. Take turns, share the excitement and feeling of accomplishment as you see something arise and take shape.

What begins as one block, one question, one step toward loving , respectful relationship, can turn into a beautiful structure that can stand the tests of time.
