Quote of the Week

“The secret to loving big is thinking small.”

- Steven Stosny

Think Small

There are really big things you do for each other that mean a lot, of course.  And yet, it is your daily interactions that create the true fabric of your lives together.  Some of the small things you do demonstrate your intent towards each other:

  • Setting up daily appreciation rituals as a commitment to strengthening your bonds
  • Going to a financial planner to finally put that savings plan in place for a well-enough funded retirement

Others demonstrate your respect:

  • Waiting for your partner to complete a sentence with which he is struggling, rather than jumping in to finish it for him
  • Telling others how proud you are of your partner
  • Thanking your partner for effort they have made on your behalf

And others show how much you care:

  • Responding positively to a difficult request simply because it came from your partner
  • Pulling your partner close in joy or sorrow
  • Telling them you love them

These are just a few of the small things that support a big love.

What small things are you doing in your relationship to show your love?
