Notes of Appreciation

When my husband and I were really struggling a few years ago, one of the things that got us back on track was a daily appreciation journal.  

Everyday, before bed, we would write a quick note of appreciation or thank you to each other.   We would write things like, “Thank you for doing the laundry today.”  “Thank you for making time for Family Night.”  “Thank you for taking such great care of the kids today.”  “Thank you for working hard to provide for our family.”   

Even if you don’t feel like it,  tell your spouse “Thank You” everyday.  

Trust me when I say, expressing daily thoughts of appreciation can have a huge impact on you and your spouse’s overall happiness.

Schedule Alone Time

With all of the hustle and bustle of life, Husband and I have been lacking in the area of alone time.  Definitely one of the culprits of us feeling out of sync with each other.  

I understand that if you have kids, getting time alone can be very challenging.  

Here is what  I recommend.  A few nights a week, meet up after the kids go to bed.  Keep all the electronics off.  And sit and just be.  Hang out, catch up and enjoy each other’s company.  

Since your relationship is the foundation of the life you have built, it is important to always take time alone together to help keep that foundation strong.  

Alone time is key to getting back in sync. 

Say Yes To Sex

If you are feeling out of sync then odds are that you are not having sex very often. But, the truth is that the less sex you have, the less you tend to feel connected to one another.  

Being intimate regularly with your spouse aids in getting your marriage back in sync.

It is proven that regular sex helps you feel more relaxed, happy and connected. And it tends to increase your desire for more!

More sex = more connection = feeling in sync.

So, even if you are not in the mood, tangle up the sheets.  Say “Yes!”

Every marriage has its good times and its not so good times.  

Mine included!  

If you find yourself in a place of just feeling out of sync with each other, it’s time to get back to the basics of what made your relationship work to begin with.  

With a little work you will be back on track before you know it.
