Master Your Appetite: PAY ATTENTION!

Where is your attention? Are you constantly distracted with your eyes in your phone or thinking of work or constantly going over the stress areas in your life? People are so distracted that they can barely look at someone when walking down the street or come in from work so distracted that you aren't paying any attention to your loved one or spouse. We have to start living purposely with the people around us. Actually seeing and connecting with them. Have an appetite for showing love. It’s no secret that a huge part of a relationship is paying Attention! Be attentive to each other’s stories, desires and interests. Take time to talk and look at each other in the eyes. Listening with your ears but your eyes are on your phone, does not qualify as paying attention.  This is what I want you to do this week. When you or your loved one comes home, completely stop whatever it is that you are doing and spend 15 minutes fully engaged with each other. Little things like that can be the driving force for building a successful relationship.
