Expressing fondness and admiration is crucial in marriage from "summary" of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman, PhD,Nan Silver
Expressing fondness and admiration is like a magical elixir that can breathe life into a marriage. It is not just about saying "I love you" every once in a while; it is about consistently showing your partner that you appreciate and admire them for who they are. This can be done through simple gestures like a warm smile, a gentle touch, or a heartfelt compliment. These small acts of kindness can go a long way in creating a sense of connection and intimacy in a marriage. When we express fondness and admiration for our partner, we are essentially telling them that they matter to us, that we see their value and worth. This can help create a positive emotional bank account in the relationship, where both partners feel loved, respected, and appreciated. This sense of validation can strengthen the bond between partners and create a sense of security and stability in the relationship. On the flip side, when we fail to express fondness and admiration for our partner, it can create distance and resentment in the relationship. Over time, this lack of emotional connection can erode the foundation of the marriage and lead to feelings of loneliness and disconnection. It is important for both partners to make a conscious effort to show their love and appreciation for each other on a regular basis. One way to cultivate fondness and admiration in a marriage is to focus on the positive aspects of your partner and the relationship. Instead of dwelling on their faults and shortcomings, try to look for the things that you admire and appreciate about them. By shifting your focus to the positive aspects of your partner, you can create a more loving and supportive environment in your marriage.- Expressing fondness and admiration is the glue that holds a marriage together. It is the foundation upon which a strong and healthy relationship is built. By showing your partner that you love, appreciate, and admire them, you can create a deep and lasting connection that will sustain your marriage through the ups and downs of life.
