Day 1 to a Great Marriage - Make a List


Hi everyone,

How fun is this?

Nesting Place is holding its 31 Days 2013, and this is my contribution.

After many years of marriage my husband and I have learned a few things about what can not only make marriage a life-long blessing, but help a husband and wife get through some of the greatest challenges, greatest adventures, greatest heartaches, and just plain life experiences we all go through, and have them work together for good. This has been the case for Duane and I, and I'd love to share some of them with you.

So, let's begin today with...

DAY 1: TO A GREAT MARRIAGE - Start at the Beginning & Make a List

No, not a list of what needs to change - but a list of (31) wonderful things about your husband that made you fall in love with him in the first place.

And then, beginning today, and every day this month, tell him one of them from your list (either text it, call him, write a note and leave it where he drops his keys when he gets home from work, etc....be creative).

It might sound or read something like this...
Honey, just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about how much I appreciate/love _____________________about you. And I'm so glad we got married ___ years ago! xoxox Me

No matter where your marriage is now on the scale of 'great,' this will not only help you remember why you fell in love with your husband; but it will be a balm to his day, (who doesn't feel better after hearing that they are appreciated and loved?) and jog his own memories; starting you both on the path to remembering why you chose to go through life together, and recapturing that first love afresh.

Who knows where this, and the next 30 days, will lead. (wink, wink)
