“Real Love is caring about the happiness of another person without any expectation for what we might receive in return….Real Love is, “I care how you feel.” Conditional love is, “I like how you make me feel.”

“When we unconditionally care about our children’s happiness, they feel a powerful connection to us. They feel included in our lives. They feel whole, safe, and not alone….Nothing but unconditional love can create that feeling for them. With Real Love nothing else matters; without it, nothing else is enough.”

Greg Baer, Real Love in Parenting

I especially love these quotes considering the incredible need our society has for people to feel truly connected to other people. The consequences we are paying for disconnection, addiction and isolation are far too great. As a society we must step back and rethink our priorities.

First, in order to have solid relationships with our spouse and kids, we must be making connections every possible way we can! We start by:
Being more loving toward ourselves
Connecting with those who love us, no matter what
Eating dinner together
Praying together
Working together
Playing together
Exhibiting Real Love to each other

Be well my friend. You aren’t alone!
