Do you think you listen, really listen, to your spouse or loved one? Most of us would say yes. We’re not intentionally lying or exaggerating to make ourselves sound better. We genuinely believe we are thoughtful and understanding enough mates to pay attention when our significant other talks. We’re not unloving jerks. We do all kinds of things for the person we care about. Certainly, we’re sensitive enough to do something so small, right? Wrong. It is actually surprising how little we listen even when we think we are.

Sometimes we get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of our daily routines that we can’t seem to find enough chances to spend meaningful time with our loved one. Sure, we spend plenty of time doing mundane daily tasks together. Maybe we remember to say “I love you” and give each other a quick peck on the cheek as we rush off our separate ways. But that isn’t the kind of quality time I mean. How about personal quite time when there are just the two of you alone together?

For most of us, dreams come true in our lives without us noticing it. The love we dreamed of, the moments we imagined, the magic that we craved for, it is all there waiting for us to wave a magic wand and make it happen, it is we who neglect the wand. When we are young, there are a thousand things we dream of, little things that make up the essence of love and life. Yet when we grow up, we let our dreams gather dust, just because we are too lazy, or we loose faith in our power to be happy and bring happiness into our lives.
