Three little but very powerful words

The following three-word phrases can enrich every relatioship.All you need to do is say it out loud and see how things change for good.These are just
I'll be there
If you have ever had to call a fruend in the middle of the night,to take a sick child to hospital or when your car has broken down some miles from home,you will know how good it will feels to hear the phrase"I'll be there."Being there for another person is the greatest gift.We can give.When we're truly present for other people,important things happen to them and us.We are renewed in love and friendship.We are restored emotionally and spiritually.Being there is at the very core of civility.


I miss you
Perhaps more marriage could be saved and strengthened if couples simply and sincerely say to each other"I miss you." This powerful affirmation tells partner they are wanted,needed,desired and loved.Consider how ecstatic you would feel,if you received an unexpected phone call from your spouse in the middle of your workday,just to say"I miss you."
I Respect You/I Trust you
Respect and trust is another way of showing love.It conveys the feeling that another person is a true equal.If you talk to your children as if they were adults you will strengthen the bonds and become close friends.This applies to all interpersonal relationships.
 Maybe You're Right
This phrase is highky effective in diffusing an argument and restoring frayed emotions.The flip side to "maybe you're right" is the humulity of admitting maybe"I'm wrong." which is saying,in other words,that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.
I Thank You
Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy.People who enjoy the companionship of good,close friends are those who don't take daily courtesies for granted.They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness.On the other hand,people whose circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude of gratitude.
Count On Me
A friend is one who walks in when others walk out.Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship;it is the emothinal glue that bonds people.Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and true friends.When troubles come, a good friend is there indicating "you can count on me."
Let Me Help
The best of friends see a need and try to fill it.When they spot a wound they do what they can to heal it.Without being asked,they pitch in and help.
I Understand You
People become closer and enjoy each other more if they feel the other person accepts and understands them.Letting your spouse know in so many little ways that you understand them,is one of the most powerful tools  for healing relationship.This applies to any relationship.
Go For It
We are all unique individuals.Don't try to get your friends to conform to your ideals.Support them in pursuing their interests,no matter how weired they seem to you.Everyone has dreams,dreams that are unique to that person only.Support and encourage your friends to follow their dreams.Tell them to "go for it."
I love You
Perhaps the most important three words that you can say.Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies a person's deepest emostional needs.The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted.Your spouse,your children,your friends and you,all need to hear those three little words"I love you.".........unknown
