Daily Ways to Show Your Spouse You Care
Exercise 1
- Before saying goodbye to your spouse in the morning, learn about one important thing that's happening in his or her life that day. This will break the habit of inattention that eventually turns couples into strangers.
Exercise 2
- Discuss the most stressful parts of your day each evening. This will help prevent job furstration from spilling over into your home life. Also, share your joys and successes. When it's your spouse's turn to talk, resist the urge to give advice. Instead, be supportive and Understanding.
Exercise 3
- Once a day, spontaneously tell your spouse you appreciate something he or she has done or that you admire a certain quality in him or her.
Exercise 4
- Show affection by occasionally kissing or touching.
Exercise 5
- Plan a date night once a week, just like when you were single. Go someplace, just the two of you, and take time to nurture your relationship.
