When was the
last time you thanked your spouse? For making the bed, helping with dishes,
watching the children, or working all day? Now is the time to start thanking
your spouse sa part of your weekly date night. Have a notebook beside your bed
or wherever you will remember to write in it. At the end of the day take one
minute and write down a reason you are thankful for your spouse. It shouldn’t
be the same every day. Sometime during your date night, share a few reason you
are thankful for your spouse, and have them do the same. This is also a great
time for communication. For example, “I’m grateful you took the kids while I
finished dinner, if you could continue to do that when you can I would really
appreciate it,” Your spouse can do the same with you. Being grateful shows that
you see the good that your spouse is doing and not just seeing where they lack.
This activity doesn’t have to be limited to just once a week, however, if you
aren’t in the habit of expressing that gratitude, this is a great way to start!
