Dr. Braccio talks with Dave Ackerly on the “Morning Wake-up with Dave Akerly” on July 16, 2019 on WILS, 1320 AM in Lansing,Michigan about—ACTS OF INTENTIONAL LOVE AND CARING CAN CEMENT LOVE IN THE RELATIONSHIP. Too often, spouses and partners begin to overlook or literally forget the behaviors that helped them to fall in love. The following are examples that will help any meaningful relationship: 1.Statements like—I LOVE YOU! YOU MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME! YOU ARE THE BEST! I THANK GOD EVERYDAY FOR SENDING YOU TO ME! 2.Kisses and hugs with feeling on a daily basis. 3.Plan regular romantic times together. 4.Plan times to talk to each other about the feelings of each and the overall health of the relationship. 5.Give unexpected gifts, regardless of value, to show love and appreciation. 6.Take your love to dinner or do something special when the other is having a hard day.
Each relationship is different and what acts of intentional love and caring used to cement the love in the relationship vary depending on the person’s particular needs and desires.
