There was a beautiful story posted on Facebook recently
about a long-married couple. Every year on their wedding anniversary, the
husband sent roses to his wife, with a card that read, “I will always love
you.”
When the man passed away, the woman was astonished when
roses arrived on their next anniversary, with a card that read, “I will love
you ‘til eternity.” When she called the florist, she discovered that her
husband had arranged and pre-paid for the flower delivery for many years to
come.
While you may have resolved to make self-improvement your
focus in January, February is the perfect time to turn your attention towards
improving your relationship with your partner.
In her bestselling book The Happiness Project, Gretchen
Rubin tackled a new set of resolutions every month for a year. In February, she
turned her attention to her marriage, and she included
things such as quit nagging, give proofs of love, and leave things unsaid.
What do Rubin’s resolutions inspire you to change in your
romantic relationship?
Whether or not you have a partner at this moment in your life, you can
always cultivate a more loving relationship with yourself. Try focusing on and
appreciating your good qualities, especially when you notice any self-critical
thoughts or words.
