When it comes to working on a new career plan for yourself, you may find you have even less time for the man in your life-especially if you have to continue to work while you are pursuing the new career goals you have set for yourself. So in order to help balance things out, you may need to get creative.
When it comes to your loved ones, it's not always about the quantity of time you spend with them but more about the quality. If you have reserved some time to be with your man, make sure you are fully present for him. Make the time all about him, and do what he would love to do rather than what you want to do. What most people want to know is that they are loved and cared about. So if you work many hours at a job each day or are spending time working on your new career plan or studying for a new qualification to get you closer to your career goals, there are things you can do that will help your man know you are thinking about him and that you care.
One thing you can do is to take time to call your man each and every day. No matter how busy you are, you should never be too busy to take a few minutes out of your day to pick up the phone and see how his day is going. Make sure the purpose of the phone call is simply to say hello and let him know you are thinking of him. Resist the temptation to complain or vent any frustrations you have about your day. Instead, make the phone call all about him.
Another thing you can do is write little love notes every now and then and put them somewhere where he will find them. If you want to take things further, send him a special gift or arrange a date night just for the two of you. I guarantee it will make your man feel very loved.
It's little things like these that go a long way in communicating to your man that he is important to you. Even though you may have to be away from him for many hours at a time, putting extra effort into letting him know he is on your mind and in your heart will help him to feel you are still with him even when you are not there.
Take time each day to reconnect. You can do so in as little as a few minutes. Wrap your arms around your man, give him a kiss, and ask him how his day was. Share your day with him as well, but try to avoid venting about your day too much. Your purpose is to let him know that he is important to you, that you missed him, and you are happy to see him again.
For more quality time together, schedule a special evening each week where the two of you can have some alone time together. Whether it be spent dining out, going to a movie, or sitting at home on the couch rubbing each other's feet, it is important to set times like this aside so that your lives together don't become all about work and taking care of the kids. It's important that you continue to find ways to have fun together and be a couple.
Remember...you have a man in your life for a reason, and that is because he was someone you wanted in your life. So make sure to keep including him in your life and letting him know just how important he is to you.
If you're thinking to yourself "What about me, I want to be looked after like this too", there's a simple answer to that. It's got to do with the law of reciprocity. What you do for others HAS to benefit you in the long run. If your man is 'feeling the love' from you, that's got to be good for your relationship and both of you will receive the benefits.
