CHAPTER TWO – SAYING HELLO
Falling in love is as easy as falling off a log. Staying in love, however, is a decision. Marriage is hard work. It takes commitment and compromise.
When you are with someone every day for a long time, you tend to take them for granted. The problem with this is it makes them feel like you are taking them for granted.
Here is my solution.
Greet your spouse with enthusiasm and energy. Show them you are happy to see them. Smile and say “Hello! How are you, dear?”
Don’t make your first words “What’s for dinner?” or “The kids were terrible today.” Show your spouse, by your actions and words, that you are happy that you found them and grateful to be married to them.
Celebrate your spouse every time you see them – when you wake up in the morning, when you come home from work or your spouse comes home from work.
By small gestures, strong bonds are made. It only takes a second, but it takes so little to do so much.
