Welcome to Little Wifey!

I just want to welcome you to my blog! This is designed to be a place of information and discussion about marriages - ones about to start out, ones just starting out, ones that are thriving, ones that are troubled, ones that have ended. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I wanted to find a platform to help the struggling entity of marriage in our current society. I believe we don't have to settle for only 1 out of every 2 marriages surviving. If you will be willing to open up your mind and heart, together we can move marriages from surviving to thriving!

Love Tip

Call your spouse or significant other today just to tell them you were thinking of them, love them, and appreciate them! Then tell them one thing you really appreciate or love about them. Feel free to ask them if there is anything you can do for them today, and then wish them a happy day. Don't forget the "I love you!"

This is sure to be a nice treat for them and welcomed ever so graciously! If you never do this, be prepared for a stunned response. If you frequently do this, well then you know the drill. It's all about just doing something sweet and thoughtful, no strings attached for the one you love. So even if you don't get the response you might be hoping for, just chalk it up as taking one for the team. Remember, this is about them, not you :) You are making a deposit in their love tank! Making deposits frequently like this can make a radical difference in your marriage and relationship over time (this is where "patience is a virtue" comes in sometimes). If you are struggling with this, think about how much you love when your spouse does something sweet and thoughtful for you and how great it makes you feel (even if you have to remember back quite awhile...do it!), and allow that to help motivate you to do that for them.

Let me know how it goes! :)
