POST-IT NOTE MARRIAGE JAR Concept to enhance your relationship:
On a good day: Grab 15 to 20 sticky notes in two different colours (one colour for each person). Write down everything you love, appreciate and feel for your partner, and pop the notes in a jar. I keep mine in the kitchen... Examples: 'I love how you did this... for me...' 'You are an amazing parent.' 'I appreciate how hard you work for this family.' 'You looked so sexy the other day.' 'Thank you for the foot massage the other day. You sensed I needed it. Amazing!' 'I love you so much.' 'I love hanging out with you and talking about nothing.' 'I admire how good you are with money.' 'I love it that you make sure I always have a fresh towel in my gym bag.' When you have a day that is less than brilliant with each other, take a few notes out of the jar to read. This is to remind you of the important core things that are going right and your appreciation for each other. Refill regularly. Tips: Use their love language, not yours: Touch, words of affirmation, gifts, quality time, acts of service. The jar holds extra brownie points for people whose top love language is words. Remember the gender currencies: Men: Admiration, Praise and Respect. Women: Safety and Protection (Includes communication safety, financial safety, physical safety, emotional safety, support with jobs, family, chores and being listened to and validated.) Two dollar shop jar. Cheap sticky notes. Cost $8 But priceless! xx Ghita's blog https://www.ghitaandersen.com/ghitas-blog www.ghitaandersen.com
