Small gestures that can improve your marriage
It's The Little Things
That Count
It’s easy to forget about little niceties when you’re stressed out
and overwhelmed with everyday life. But if you forget about the small
things too often, you could be sending your marriage down the path of no
return. Check out these small gestures that can help improve your
marriage.
Say "please."
Anything without a "please" at the end of it sounds like a demand.
One word may not seem like it should make much difference, but you'll be
surprised at how much your significant other will appreciate your
asking nicely for something, rather than demanding it.
Say "thank you."
Like adding "please" to the end of every request, following up by
thanking your spouse is equally as important. It shows your partner
you've noticed what he's done for you, and you appreciate his effort.
Using those two little words can make a big difference in the ongoing
health of your marriage.
Ask his opinion.
Rather than just telling him what movie you've rented or where the
two of you are going on Saturday afternoon, make him part of the
decision-making process. You don't have to ask his permission or wait to
make small choices until he weighs in -- but asking what he'd like to
do or where he wants to eat once in a while will help make him feel like
part of a team, rather than an island.
Show affection.
We're not talking lengthy make-out sessions or full body massages,
but rather the small signs of affection that will make him feel loved.
Hold his hand in line at the grocery store, give him a hug when he walks
in the door, or lean on him when you're on the couch watching a movie.
Small signs of affection will not only make him feel good, but also will
benefit you, as well.More guy advice
