while browsing through the net, i read through this and thought it was interesting to share. Basically they are children's views on sustaining love!
HOW TO MAKE LOVE ENDURE"Spend most of your time loving instead of going to work." Dick, age 7
"Don't forget your wife's name..that will mess up the love." Erin, age 8
"Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the trash." Dave, age 8
"Don't say you love somebody and then change your mind....Love isn't like picking which movies you watch." Natalie, age 9
It' s funny how children are so observant, yet as adults.. we forget the little things at times.
Plus, thank me if you need to but here are 10 tips for those who need a cruise through their bitter relationship, make something out of it!
Happy Reading Yawl!! (:
- Show Love - Never ever let love diminish from your lives. So what if you are busy with work and handling three jobs at a time? You are married to your beloved, not your work. Often people feel neglected as they feel their partner does not love them the way they used to. Even if it means saying a simple "I love you" with quick peck, make you sure you do it everyday. It works wonders and keeps you together even through the toughest times.
- Don't Nag - You have to understand that every person has a limit of tolerance. Once you push the person beyond that level, trouble occurs. Don't keep nagging your partner to do things the way you like to. Just because you are married to them does not mean they can't think or do things their way. Just say what you have in mind and wait for your partner to respond. You will be surprised to see the results.
- Respect your Partner - Need we really explain this one? You give respect, you get respect. Don't forget he/she still has an individual identity despite the fact that you are a couple. Respect your partner's feelings and you will have much more years of happiness in your life.
- Resolve Fights - Never ever leave fights or bitter arguments for the next time. Resolve your arguments and fights there and then. Do not be hesitant to say "sorry" if it is your mistake. You will see how easy it is to resolve fights and forgive each other and truly forget it. Do not bring up old issues, as it will unnecessarily complicate an already delicate situation. It is better to forgive and forget than fret forever.
- Communicate - Talk to each other as much as you can. It helps to bring two people closer and you get to understand each other better. Look at it this way. Some of the most amazing conversations you can think of have taken place with the one you love.
- Be Faithful - In order to keep a relation alive you have to have faith and trust in your beloved. No one is perfect and you have to accept the other person just as he/she accepts you, with the positives and negatives. There is a very thin line of difference between trust and faith and it is very important trust your partner and have faith in yourself to make a relation work.
- Compromises - Everyone is required to make compromises at some point in life. It is not possible to have everything that you desire for at the expense of someone else. You have to adjust to make yourself and your partner happy. Rest assured that when time comes, he/she would go out of way to make you comfortable.
- Take a Break - Allot one day in a week that you will devote just for the two of you. It could be every Sunday and it need not be anything extravagant or too mushy. Just be with him/her for an entire day even if it means helping her with the dishes or watching a game with him.
- Special Days - Whatever you do, do not forget important dates. Remember birthdays and anniversaries. They are special days and every year they add another milestone to your relation.
- Do Not Underestimate - Whatever your partner does to make you happy should be valued. Never underestimate the value or effort of your partner.

Here's a prayer for the fellow teacher-friends i have..
it's really good!!
here it goes,
HELP ME BE GRATEFUL
for the students who like to learn
HELP ME BE THANKFUL
for the students i love
and understand those who i am learning to love
HELP ME TO BE MOTIVATED
by the students who learn to think
and be committed to those afraid to try
HELP ME TO BE INSPIRED
by the students who choose right over wrong
and be patient with those who lack the courage
HELP ME BE GENTLE
with the students who make mistakes
and learn to forgive the difficult child
HELP ME BE WISE
with the students building character
and be unwavering with those without conscience
HELP ME BE COMMITTED
to the students who are responsible
and be persistent with those who value nothing
HELP ME BE CALM
in the midst of violence
and model self control in the midst of anger
HELP ME BE FAITHFUL
in the days of discouragement
and be dedicated to make one child smile
