Notice something positive that your partner is doing for you.
Below are a few research-backed insights from the Gottman Institute for more inspiration 🙂
FONDNESS & ADMIRATION
Fondness and admiration are two of the most crucial elements in a rewarding and long-lasting romance. Although happily married couples may feel driven to distraction at times by their partner’s flaws, they still feel that the person they married is worthy of honor and respect.
They scan their social environment for things they can appreciate and say thank you for. They build a culture of respect and appreciation very purposefully.
SMALL THINGS COUNT
These thank yous don’t have to be about big things. Search for the small, everyday moments and catch your partner doing something right.
The better in touch you are with your deep-seated positive feelings for each other, the less likely that you will act with contempt toward your spouse when you have a difference of opinion.
