This is a wonderful way to start and end your day. Though you may give a hug before leaving for work or hug your partner before falling asleep, this is a focused moment to consciously share with your partner.

Thanks for the resource.

I've found that one of our favorite habits is the first one listed in the first post...go to bed at the same time.

This allows us to be on a schedule, which lets us get the kids to bed on time and everything runs much smoother with that being done!

It gives us our time alone, and it makes the kids easier to deal with the next day because they got enough sleep.

Whereas if we go off schedule and they go to bed too late they are tired and cranky the next day, making the start of the next day a hurricane....and we all know how those days go!

According to the principles of Polish girls, you need to act on time to feed your boyfriend and support him in difficult situations. :xedfingers:

Just to add, accept each other's flaw and learn to understand each other, if your partner is tired let him rest if your wife is not in the mood, try to ask her why. Simple things can make you both happy.
Agreed! Helping each other grow and understanding that each of us as individuals has our own flaws.. i'm glad my DH has been very understanding.. :love:

Grandparents help to take care of our 2 kids so we can go for a dinner date. Always thankful for our alone time, reminds us why we fell in love in the first place 🙂

Read from John Gottman's research (http://www.gothman.com😞

1. Know each other's likes and dislikes
2. Continue to nurture your friendship
3. Accept each other's influence in your life
4. Maintain a 5:1 positive interaction v.s. negative ones
5. Solve the solvable problems in your marriage
6. Uncover each other's hidden dreams and honor them
7. Create things like family rituals to establish shared meaning
This is a really good reminder. We all have our hidden dreams and being able to fulfill them for each other will surely bring about a closer and more appreciated relationship. Thank you for this!

Mother’s Day is coming along, perhaps I should start dropping some hits on simple gifts that the dad and the little one can enjoy shopping and receiving for me! Little things like that help keep the love strong. Keep on building that relationships!


Recently came across this gift idea, I think not just for Mother’s Day, perhaps we can get for our own hubby, kids as well. Seem like the kids would love these multi coloured preserved flower domes. A little cute gift goes a Long way sometimes! Found it online at https://www.gerbilsgarden.com/preservedflowers

Make trust and forgiveness your default mode.
If and when they have a disagreement or argument, and if they can’t resolve it, happy couples default to trusting and forgiving rather than distrusting and begrudging.

We gave… when we wanted to receive.
We served… when we wanted to feast.
We shared… when we wanted to keep.
We listened… when we wanted to talk.
We submitted… when we wanted to reign.
We forgave… when we wanted to remember.
We stayed… when we wanted to leave.

The two circles should have sufficient overlap which represents common ground – common interests, activities, friends and so on. But there should be sufficient space for the individual to be free to indulge in his/her own activities with his/her own circles of friends. It’s okay to have a girls’ night out or a guys’ night out every once in a while.

Be willing to go out of your way to do something for your spouse when he or she needs it done, even if it’s something you don’t particularly care about doing. Tell your spouse you love him/her, and mean it. Keep yourself clean and neat. The looks will go somewhat as we get older, but we’re never too old to keep ourselves clean, our hair washed and combed and our teeth brushed. If your spouse becomes ill or infirm, let him/her know you’ll be there and you won’t abandon them. Maintain a cheerful disposition, and don’t gripe about every little thing.

These things include trust, loyalty, being able to see your friends without them stopping you, occasionally letting each other have their own time.

Express your love every morning.
Greet your partner with a long hug.
Express your gratitude.
Reminisce together.
Chat about change.
Chat about dreams.
Walk in their shoes.
Listen fully.
Touch their heart.
Learn their poignant words.

If you look for things your partner does wrong, you can always find something. If you look for what he or she does right, you can always find something, too. It all depends on what you want to look for. Happy couples accentuate the positive.

Thanks for sharing.
Good point. But not easy to do. Haha.
