I was reading a short article on three things a couple can practice daily to help nurture their marriage and increase mutual joy and affection. Without regurgitating the entire article, I will lay out the three daily practices:
1. Tell your spouse one reason why you appreciate him or her every day.
2. Exemplify honesty and integrity in your relationship - this includes how you think throughout the day, the choices you make, and the conversations you have. Are you honoring your spouse in those areas?
3. Begin and end the day with a good conversation. It doesn't have to be long, but begin and end on a high note, even if it is just "You are amazing and I am thankful for you, good night."
These three daily practices can help you cultivate an environment of trust and safety in your marriage. They are not difficult to incorporate in your day, and the benefits are well worth the effort.
