Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who to blame,
whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. We miss out
some warmth in human relationship to give each other support.
Treasure what you have. Just a little story for you:
A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were
a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy
was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle
open.He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep
it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot
the matter.
The boy playfully went to the medicine bottle and, fascinated with
its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for
adults in small dosages.When the child showed signs of poisoning the
mother took him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was
stunned.
She was terrified how to face her husband.

child,he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.

ANSWER :
The husband just said " I Love You Darling " . The husband’s totally
unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. He is indeed a genius in
human relationships. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to
life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother.
She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was
consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would
be much fewer problems in the world.
To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a
little. To be happy with a woman you must understand her a lot and
love her with all your heart.
