    THINK ABOUT IT
     
    Sometimes we make love with our eyes. Sometimes we make love with our hands. Sometimes we make love with our bodies. Always we make love with our hearts. ~unknown
     
    Somewhere there’s someone who dreams of your smiles and finds in your presence that life is worthwhile. So when you are lonely, remember this is true….somebody, somewhere is thinking of you!
     
    Love is as much an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, will never….never forget it. ~Curtis Judalet
     
    I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, every day we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. ~Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
     
    And when her lips met mine, I knew that I could live to be a hundred and visit every country in the world, but nothing would ever compare to that single moment when I first kissed the girl of my dreams and knew that my love would last forever. ~Nicholas Sparks, Dear John

RELATIONSHIP BUILDER TWELVE
     

Find and Acknowledge the Good in Your Partner
     
    You have probably heard the saying, give credit where credit is due. When your partner does a good job, fixes or figures something out, comes up with a great idea, or does you a favor, it is important to acknowledge it. We all like the attention of a job well done or the praise for a thoughtful and creative idea. It makes us feel good and valuable that we have made a positive impact. In our own special way, we have contributed to the well-being of our spouse, family, and/or society and it can be encouraging to know that it did not go unnoticed.
     
    We all have a deep need to feel valuable and especially to our partners. We want our partner to think we are really important and special. We want him or her to adore us and need us. We want his or her respect and devotion. Oftentimes our positive contributions become too familiar and we begin to take one another for granted. We quickly forget how much our spouse thinks about us and does for us whether it is fixing our computer, folding our laundry, making our favorite dinner, calling to see how our day is going, getting us a cup of coffee, and so forth.
     
    If we make it a practice to take notice of the good things our partner says and does, we will begin to recognize it more easily; and we will tend to focus on the good in him or her. The little things that usually annoy us, the faults, weakness and mistakes will be easier to overlook. They will no longer bother us in the same way. And we will become increasingly grateful for our partner. A grateful heart is a happy heart. We can become happier in our marriages with the practice of giving thanks for one another.
