Express gratitude regularly from "summary" of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman, Ph.D.
Expressing gratitude regularly is a crucial aspect of maintaining a healthy and happy marriage. When we take the time to express appreciation for our partner, we are reinforcing the positive aspects of our relationship and creating a sense of connection and closeness. Gratitude serves as a powerful antidote to feelings of resentment and dissatisfaction that can often arise in a marriage. By acknowledging and thanking our partner for the things they do, big or small, we are showing them that we value and appreciate their efforts. This simple act of gratitude can go a long way in strengthening the bond between partners and fostering a sense of mutual respect and admiration. It also helps to create an atmosphere of positivity and goodwill within the relationship. When we express gratitude regularly, we are also contributing to a culture of kindness and generosity in our marriage. This culture of appreciation can help to counteract negative interactions and conflicts that may arise. By focusing on the positive aspects of our partner and expressing gratitude for them, we are more likely to approach challenges and disagreements with a spirit of understanding and compassion. Furthermore, expressing gratitude regularly helps to create a sense of reciprocity within the relationship. When we show our partner appreciation, they are more likely to reciprocate and express gratitude towards us as well. This cycle of giving and receiving gratitude can lead to a more harmonious and fulfilling marriage, where both partners feel valued and cherished.- Expressing gratitude regularly is a simple yet powerful way to nurture and sustain a loving and enduring marriage. By making a habit of acknowledging and thanking our partner for their contributions and efforts, we are creating a foundation of positivity, kindness, and connection that can weather any storm. So, take the time to express gratitude to your partner regularly, and watch as your relationship grows stronger and more resilient with each passing day.
