Love each other, for your child’s sakeYou can do anything for that smile on your little darling’s face. You can act like
a monkey; treat him to an ice cream, read aloud his favorite story. But beyond the smile, for inner happiness, you have to love not only your child but your partner as well. When a child grows up observing a close bond between his/her parents and a
relationship of mutual understanding, trust, and respect, he/she automatically becomes loving, and caring by nature. Such
children are more confident, more giving, more positive, more expressive, and much happier than children who witness quarrels and ugly scenes between their parents and experience negative strains in a relationship. The relationship between his/her parents is the first relationship that a child observes very closely. If parents fight or talk disrespectfully to each other, children lose faith in relationships and fear entering long-term relationships. Not only this, they also lose respect for their parents. They nurse bitterness. Think of it this way: If you feel bad when your child is unhappy, how cans he /she feels good when you are going through an unhappy phase? They say the best gift a father can give his child is to love his mother. And the best gift parents can give their child is ‘to love each other’.What is ‘loving each other’?Never argue with or criticize each other in front of the child. Sort out your problems in private. Your child should know the
language of love.If it happens despite your best efforts, apologies to each other in front of the child. Show him/her that the misunderstanding is over. Your child should feel the
power of love.Show respect to and deal with your partner lovingly. Your child should see the
beauty of love.
