Drs John and Julie Gottman offer this terrific and simple enough suggestion to help enhance your relationship.
They suggest we make a list of three things you really admire about our partner.
The list could include things they do or something about the person you’ve known since you met them, (like their sense of humour or their always backing you); something like always buying nice birthday cards); or, something they did in the moment or recently (like making you a cuppa).
Write your list and give it to your partner.
You might, write up a new list as often as you like. It could be daily, weekly, or randomly. Notice (noticing is always good!) how it impacts your relationship.
If you think you might benefit from couples’ counselling, for an appointment with Chapman Marques Psychology & Relationship Counselling, phone Belconnen Specialist Centre on 6251 1880.
