Take Care

• Have you ever driven home after having a little too much to drink?
• Ever fallen asleep after putting the kettle on the stove to make a cup of tea?
• How about not seeking medical attention for an ankle that has been swollen for over a year?
• Or perhaps just letting your work take a toll on your health?

Imagine what your partner goes through when you are of sound mind and yet act irresponsibly along these lines?

Quoting a man whom I respect without prejudice :

The idea is that relationships shouldn’t only be “you take care of me and I take care of you”.  It is just as important that “I take care of me for you and you take care of you for me”.
