When it comes to the most important relationship in your life, don’t be normal. Normal isn’t good enough.
Unfortunately, in many relationships, “normal” represents a life of mediocrity and going through the motions. It is simply too easy to succumb to the busyness of life and lose sight of how precious our spouse or significant other really is to us.
And it’s even easier for our partner to feel disconnected and a bit under-appreciated. We know how we feel, and (if asked) we are quick to tell others that our spouse is a clear number one in our list of priorities…
But does your partner know how you feel?
Tell Them
It may sound trite. It may seem overly simplistic. But clear communication is THE KEY to a healthy and extraordinary relationship.
When you think a kind (or romantic) thought about your spouse, let them know how you feel. Take the time to listen to them about their day and respond with some exuberance or empathy. Show them you care by telling them that you care.
These are the little things that make us all feel appreciated and affirmed in the face of a crazy life.
Write It Down
Talking is good, but writing is great. To leave a really meaningful and lasting impact on your partner’s heart, take a few minutes to write them a romantic love letter. This doesn’t have to be some cheesy Hallmark spiel about angels and achy, breaky hearts…though it could be.
And it really shouldn’t be difficult. To make it easy, here are five simple steps to write an awesome romantic letter that your significant other will cherish for life and brag to their friends about.
Just Do It
Simple, huh?
All it takes is a few minutes to create a sweet little letter that expresses the romantic feelings you usually never take the time to consider or (especially) to deliver. With just a small effort, you have the ability to rock your relationship and make your significant other feel as special as they truly should.
It’s time. Take the motivation you feel right now and start to jot down your thoughts. Follow through with a heartfelt romantic letter and deliver in an awesome way. Your spouse, and you, will be so glad that you did.
The best “pillow talk” doesn’t have to take place in bed, although I bet it will make the time you spend there more enjoyable.
Question: Have you ever written a heartfelt note to your husband letting him know how much you love and admire him? If yes, how did he respond?
