If there’s one human being who loves us unconditionally and profoundly, it’s our mom. They know us more than anybody else, we may think that they don’t but actually they really do. We may sometimes find their pampering over the top or at times annoying but hey!, they are made for that, and they can’t help it.
As a relationship coach, my mom’s wisdom and good example has a big influence. So in this article, I am going to share my mom’s advice on love and relationships. This happened during my teenage years, though I can’t relate but I’m sure this is one of the toughest stages to get through to a child but somehow my mom never run out of tricks to get her insights on me.

It was a good moment because what she told me lived inside me and I’m sure it will remain inside me; my mom gave me her advice on love and relationships. She told me “Ruth, sooner or later you are going to fall inlove and that is a good thing and I will be the happiest mom in the world if you can find that somebody to love no matter what and that same somebody who will do the same to you.” I asked her- “How will I know if I am inlove?” I was expecting the ever elusive answer to this question “you will know when it’s there” but my mom gave me specifics.
“You can only say you are truly inlove when you know how you want your eggs and coffee done and why.” “But I don’t drink coffee yet, mom.” She answered. “If you’re old enough to drink coffee, then you are capable enough to say that it is true and real love.” “It doesn’t mean that if you think of that person 24/7 you are inlove.
There are tons of reasons why you get to think of that person constantly, he may have a great smile and sparkling blue eyes or he smells good and he has attractive wavy hair that goes along with his beautifully tanned skin.” “If these are the reason that makes you inlove, have you ever asked yourself what if those great smile and sparkling teeth are replaced with cheap dentures? And those sparkling blue eyes will be covered with thick high grade glasses and he will soon smell like soap and those wavy locks and tanned skin will soon wilt away.
Will you still feel the same?” my mom said looking straight in my eyes while giving her advice on love. “What I’m telling you my dear is that I need you to figure yourself out first. I need you to discover how precious and special you are before you decide to share yourself to that deserving person.” She continued her advice on love.
“…because if you know deep inside that you are very special person then you will attract that same kind of person- a very loving and deserving person who will make you fall but will not allow you to forget yourself- a person who will always be happy to see you taking care and taking charge of your life… and that same person will hurt you and make you cry but will not make you lose your faith with each other.
This is my advice on love to you- to have faith in yourself and your man but you have to know and discover who you are first. Decide what it is you want your life and the universe will give you that suitable person to fit in your life. Don’t force time or yourself, love will come to you- the universe provides and its timing is always impeccable.” My mom says in conclusion...
So, how about you? Do you how you want your eggs and coffee done and why?
