FEBRUARY 2021by Lyle Williams, LMFT on February 11
Valentine’s day is 3 days away. Overlooking the pagan roots of the international holiday (historically called Lupercalia), many people will be influenced to think about whom they love and who loves them back on this day. Let’s consider how you can take a step toward long lasting love this February 14th. For single people... If you are happy in your singlehood, fantastic! If you are feeling lonely and sad in your singlehood, please read on. I want to remind you that God loves you, and is always with you. February 14th is a great day to focus on the Love God has for you by reading the Bible, googling Bible verses about love, and spending time in prayer. I also recommend that you, as a single person, take a moment to prepare yourself for the next great love of your life. You can do this by studying and practicing emotional intelligence. If you are interested in working on improving emotional intelligence (which will benefit all relationships in your life), check out the book “Emotional Intelligence 2.0” by Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves. A link is in the email. For couples... If you and your partner haven’t talked about Valentine’s Day expectations, please do. If your partner wants a gesture of love on February 14th, you need to know. If your partner doesn’t want to celebrate Valentine's Day for any reason, that is worth discussing as well. Don’t let a holiday dictate how connected you feel with your partner. Do your best to get clear on what your partner needs to feel connected with you on February 14th and beyond. I suggest having that conversation tonight, given today’s date. If you and your partner would like to invest time into strengthening the connection in your relationship, I recommend that you read the book “Hold Me Tight” by Sue Johnson. There is a link to this book in the email. Short and sweet this time. Stay healthy, and I will catch you later.
