Hope and Antonio are young and living on love. They have the pressures of their jobs, their acquisitions, the things and babies they dream about having some day. 

But just now they have the simplicity of neither having too much stuff nor too many demands tugging on them.  This lends itself to quality time spent together that deeply enriches their love lives.

Why She Appreciates Him

Antonio is from Spain.  Hope is from the United States, where they live.  Hope’s favorite thing is to lay her head in her husband’s lap when he is on the phone with his family.  She loves to hear his side of the conversation in Spanish. 

Even when she doesn’t understand all the words, she understands his tone of voice.  She feels his love for his family and their love for him.  In addition, she loves the experience of her husband communicating with people he loves in his native tongue. 

It makes her appreciate him more.  The intimacy of her physical closeness and her appreciation of him when he is on the phone with his family is precious to both of them.

Presently, nothing is pulling on Hope’s attention that would tear her away from this unique opportunity to appreciate her husband and enjoy this level of intimacy.  Hopefully, as their lives and finances grow, they will remember to continue this ritual and create new ones.

Intimacy Thrives on Appreciation

Appreciating each other is easy when we are first falling in love!  Beginning with small things like how he places his hand protectively on the small of her back when they walk together or how she gives him that eye-to-eye look that says he is the yummiest thing she has ever seen; couples naturally appreciate each other in the early stages of romance.

As the relationship continues, appreciation and its benefits too often fall to the wayside.  Because it was something that came naturally, giving it attention wasn’t necessary.  Now it is time to be intentional about appreciating your lover. 

Appreciating each other can occur any time in any place!  Samantha likes to be around her husband’s friends when he isn’t there.  Because his friends admire him, the way they talk about him when they have Samantha to themselves makes her hot for her husband!  She loves to brag to him about how they brag about him.  He likes it too!

Be Intentional….
