We have been talking all week about love being an intentional act. How marriage is a constant, daily re-commitment. Marriage is like a giant quilt knitted patch by patch into this beautiful masterpiece. Each day is another patch, another piece of the big picture.
I wanted to encourage you to be intention starting now. Here is a little tip to get you started:
Take time to write down 10 things you love and/or appreciate about your spouse. Title it: "10 Reasons I Love You." Write them one a nice piece of paper. Sign it with an "I love you" or a "Just wanted to let you know I love you" and your name (if you have a little nickname from your spouse, use it). Take it and leave it in an unexpected place where he/she will find it. Some hints are their wallet (or purse), car, or in the bathroom by the mirror (place it there at night so they can find it in the morning when they are getting ready for their day).
Trust me; your spouse is going to love your love list! Wouldn't you? Try doing little things like this at least once a week - it's sewing the fabric of your life together.
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!
