Coffey Break Chat: 3 Non-Negotiables with Meagan Elyce

 

Hey guys!
Today I had the pleasure of sitting down with my dear friend and life&style blogger, Meagan Elyce. Over the course of our discussion we couldn’t help but notice that some conversations are too good to keep to ourselves… It was a juicy one indeed 😉
Join us below as she shares her 3 non-negotiables for selecting a future mate!

Need a recap? Here’s a refresher of Meg’s Top 3!
  • God Fearing– I want my partner to love God and establish Him as the head of our household. I want my partner to be a praying man that will pray over our family and feed the word of God into us daily.
  • Family Oriented– I want my partner to be a family man. I want family to be an important factor in his life and I want him to value the relationships he has with them-especially immediate family members like mother/father, brother/sister. Also, could this person be a great father to my future children?
  • Financial & Emotional Stability -It is imperative that my partner be stable in both these areas so that he can help to provide that for our relationship. I want him to not only know that value of a dollar, but know why it is important to save and invest for the future for our family (and actively save and invest) so that we aren’t always looking to keep our heads above water. Emotional stability is important because I want my partner to be there to provide support and love when I may have emotionally checked out and I need that extra love and attention to get me back to where I need to be.

The Gift of Vunerability

Bob Marley Live Love
Reflection has this way of sneaking up on you at the most unexpected times, and sometimes reflection comes in the form of a gift from another’s thoughts that reveal a part of you you didn’t even know you needed to feel. Over time, I’ve learned that vulnerability is the cornerstone of a any relationship worth having, and finding someone who makes you feel that you can be vulnerable is something to be treasured. Bob Marley’s quote below is timeless, beautiful and nothing short of the truth. Enjoy
Peace, Love & Sunshine -Chelsea

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
