✨ Calling All Matchmakers at Heart! ✨

I have a beautiful, successful, and goal-driven female client searching for a meaningful connection. She’s looking for a spiritual Christian man, ages 26-35, who is kind, caring, ambitious, and serious about a relationship leading to marriage. He should be established or working toward a thriving career and value faith, love, and commitment.

Does this sound like someone you know? Tag them below or share this post with them!💟 They can also DM me directly to be considered as a potential match.

Let’s create love stories together! 💜

I love this excerpt from this article based on John Gottman's research.

Create a culture of appreciation.
Expressing appreciation helps us notice more of our partner’s positive qualities rather than the negatives.

Ideally, we want our positive statements and gestures to outweigh the negative ones — the magic ratio is at least five positive statements or feelings to one negative one.

Track your communication patterns over a week. How often are you engaging in negative interactions (e.g., nagging, criticizing, ignoring, eye-rolling) versus positive ones (e.g., praising, complementing, doing something nice for the other partner)?

What do appreciate most from your partner?

No matter how you slice it, the biggest reason relationships fail is because of poor communication. Jessica Griffin and Pepper Schwartz, who have been studying couples for more than 50 years, share how to communicate in healthy ways with your partner.

Spot on! Love isn't just a feeling, it's sometimes (and often) a choice!

By focusing on what is wrong with potential dates, or in relationships, and in marriage, it’s easy to lose sight of what is right.

Choose to focus on the good and right. Since no one is perfect and we all have faults, there will always be things that we don't like in a person or a relationship. But if we focus on the negatives instead of the positives, we either remain single, or hurt our relationships.

Choose positivity!
