Spring into Love: The Importance of Kindness

For so many of us in long term relationships, we start to take each other for granted. Complacency creeps in on its sneaky little feet—we get bored, we cease to find our partner exciting, we no longer romance them. Sometimes, we even stop being kind to them and wind up treating thembadly- unkind tone, sharp words - instead of treating them like a good friend. For the next three weeks on Sex, Love, and Elephants it’s all about springing into love.
