  • Don’t make it about other’s shortcomings in the family during a fight- make it about how you feel without being self centered.
  • Need to have communication often and listen to each other. (listed in an article by University of Delaware on studying healthy families)
  • You can’t only be focused on your self, your work, your friends or school.
  • Know what’s going on in your family member’s lives.
  • Take the time to know their struggles, passions and thoughts as well as to share your own.
  • Spend time together because time and close proximity both breed friendship and emotional closeness.
  • Be able to work through conflict and arguments together in a strong, substantial way.

    • Many sources say that for parents raising kids, praise and teamwork (as well as expressed love) go a long way in raising a child in a family that is strong and rooted. 

    Notes:
    Positive reinforcement always works better than punishment. 
    Emotional manipulation will destroy families. 
    Family members have no obligation to families that don't care for them, both physically AND emotionally. And suggesting that your child or parent or uncle  or grandma owes you things because of what you do for them, is emotional manipulation.

So whenever anyone in the family needs help, even if they are 3rd cousins twice removed, the family flocks to them. Thus is the Italian and Greek way of of the Fragakis family. While I don't believe that the bond between blood family members is necessarily stronger than that between close friends, there is something to be said about the strangeness of family dynamics. Wanting to kill each other half the time, then fighting anyone who even gives a member of your family a weird look. The protective, instinctive feeling in your gut will undoubtedly surprise you. Even if your family is filled with awful people, there will still be the tiniest, smallest part of you that feels connected to them. ]]> 2018-05-22 03:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262555517 What it takes to get through the work day with the people around you: marmardev https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262559615
  • Trust- You have to be able to count on your team members to get the job done and be a part of the group.
    • Gossip and bickering can tear trust apart and create divides between people in the work place. While it's interesting for a minute, it will only hurt the subject and your relation with them in the long run. Plus when you gossip, it undermines your credibility and image to other employees. 
  • Respect- at a minimum if you don't even respect the people you're working with, then nothing can end well. In order for a work relationship to sail smoothly you at least have to be able to respect them and some aspect of what they do. 
    • Appreciate what others do for you and try and actively listen to what they are saying in order to let them know you care about them. 
  • Practice Open Communication- In order to have any sort of relationship there has to be talking. You need to be honest with one another about how you are feeling, and be able to connect in conversation. 
    • While this isn't a romantic relationship, coworkers should still connect on a level deeper than a superficial one because they spend so much time together. 
  • Lastly be assertive about your boundaries but don't put up walls and shell yourself away from people at work. Try and spark conversation and find common interest. Bond over work and be meaningful in your efforts to connect.

If you do not love your partner, then nothing else matters and a romantic relationship will not work. This is not specific to significant others; families and friendships need love too, but love is slightly different in passionate relationships. Love is all encompassing and it means putting another human before yourself.

    While I do not agree with all of the doctrines, this Bible verse best sums up what "love" is supposed to be. 

    1 Corinthians 13:4-8 

    4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
    8 Love never fails.

After all that's what separates friendships and family from relationships. While these people hug and exchange body contact, they are lacking the passionate touch that people in love have. And without this fire and/or level of sexual attraction, no romantic relationship can thrive. There needs to be kissing and hand holding and hugging and whatever satisfies each member of a couple. ]]> 2018-05-22 04:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262562811 #3: Respect marmardev https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262563259 If you don't respect yourself or your partner and vice versa, then there cannot be  a real relationship. If you feel as though your partner is worth nothing, especially in comparison to you, or if you have no self respect, then the tables are not even. This creates a power dynamic that is toxic. And respecting someone else means that you respect their body, their boundaries, their everything. If you find that you don't respect someone because you think they are a bad person, then leave them.
    If you are in a relationship where you respect them too much and not yourself, then you need to take a time out and learn how to love yourself again before you give everything you are over to someone else. ]]>     2018-05-22 04:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262563259     #4: Kindness marmardev https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262563660 This seems like it should be a given but it is forgotten in so many times. People don't know how to be nice in relationships anymore. Saying kind things, doing things without being asked. Thinking of and putting others before themselves. Men and women yell at each other and degrade each other in fights without even meaning to. Couples are meant to be filled with random acts of kindness to make the other smile. Kindness is about saying true things that build the other person up rather than tear them down. Kindness in relationships is what makes the person always want to be around you. Even if the days grow long and your patience grows thin, prevailing kindness will save you and your S.O. ]]> 2018-05-22 04:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262563660 marmardev https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262565607 2018-05-22 04:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262565607 marmardev https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262565644 2018-05-22 04:55:31 UTC https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262565644 marmardev https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262565683 2018-05-22 04:55:51 UTC https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262565683 #5: Understanding marmardev https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262565724 If your S.O. can never tell what you are thinking or vice versa, if there is no deeper connection, then your romance may never be all that you want it to. This isn't only the stuff of fairy tales. If you want to practice mutual understanding, you have to be able to have empathy for how your partner is feeling. You should be able to feel their pain and their joy, and be there through all of it. You don't always have to know what they are going through but you have to understand and help them deal with their emotions rather than ignoring or dismissing them. Be their shoulder to cry on and the one they can rely on. ]]> 2018-05-22 04:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/marmardev/4gydcuarwni1/wish/262565724
