As I drive home from work and pull into my driveway,I sometimes pump my fist and say "Yes!" Why? Well, because I get to see my husband, Josh. Sometimes he greets me before I even get into the house. As I get that hug and kiss, I think "I love my life!" I got to marry my best friend!
I'm no marriage expert. I don't have any degrees in psychology or marriage counseling, I've been married for just four years, and this is only my first marriage (and last!) Josh and I have methods or tips that "work for us"; some are obvious; some are unique or even silly. They might not work for you and your spouse, but they "work for us".
Every week I will add a tip with an explanation of why and/or a description of how.
Tip 1: Always say "thank-you" for everything, even if it is something you expect him/her to do. When I bring Josh something as basic as a bowl of ice cream or tabasco sauce (not together) His "thank-you" sounds sincere and sometimes excited." His thankfulness always makes me feel appreciated and anxious to do more for him. Saying thank-you might seem glaringly obvious, but it is something we often forget to do in our busy lives. So, say "thanks" with sincerity and a smile.
