Relationship Advice

An Encouraging List…

I recently read a “Dear Abby” column in which a woman wrote in telling all readers about how she rekindled the romance in her marriage. Her relationship with her husband had been in a complete rut so she decided to try something that worked for another couple she knows. On a piece of paper she wrote 50 reasons why she appreciates her husband and another 50 reasons why she loves him. She said that when she gave him her list he was so touched that he practically cried. The woman ended by saying that her marriage has never been better.

This doesn’t mean that all relationship problems can be solved with a list as above, but I’d be willing to bet that at the route of a lot of marriage problems is lack of motivation caused by lack of appreciation. That is sad, but true. So many husbands and wives just don’t feel appreciated by their partners. They feel that everything they do is in vain, so who can blame them for feeling burnt out and emotionally exhausted.

Take a few minutes to think about this…do you think that your partner deserves some appreciation? What are some things they do that deserve some good ol’ praise and thanks?

Get out your pen and paper and start writing. Below are some ideas for things you can include that should never go unappreciated.
