Unlike the summer months where the sun is shining and people wears less and less each year, or the scary movies where lovers grip each other to stave off the fear, winter brings its own chill to intimacy. Couples cuddle together to seek warmth not only from the cold but from the distance they’ve sensed in their relationships.

The winter months brings with it the promise of creation and building a foundation that will last.

The ways we decorate our homes, our workplace, even ourselves heightens our need to discover what’s hidden beneath the surface of the ones we’re attracted to.

Winter brings with it the anticipation that somehow, if we just believe and are extra “nice”, we’ll get our special gift—a relationship that stands the test of time.
