Out of the Box Dates Welcomes You!

A Great Relationship

I do believe there is a secret to keeping your relationship strong. Many of you may doubt this?

 Well, admittedly, there are probably many amazingly unique and great relationships. And undoubtedly they have many similar factors. And you would probably agree they include the ability to:

• Communicate
• Empathize
• Dedicate time to the relationship
• Listen

 But still – there is another truth dangling out there. It is elusive, but there is a secret to a great relationship.

 A tiny little secret.

The SECRET is:  Do a good turn daily. 

 You see? It is tiny, and simple. But sometimes elusive…to remember.   Do something kind for your spouse/significant other, each day. Sometimes it comes easily. Sometimes you may have to work at it. 

 How do you get there? How do you achieve a great relationship using this secret? It can be in the tiniest changes.  Here are a few suggestions on where to look:  

• When you pour yourself coffee, or make a cup of tea or cocoa, make one for him/her too
• When the toilet paper roll finishes, replace it before leaving the bathroom
• If you stop to pick up groceries, get a tiny treat s/he likes
• Do one of the chores you don’t usually do – like collect the trash or hang a picture
• Get your kids in on it – they’ll think of great ideas!

 Take baby steps. Just try it for a week.  Watch for your spouse’s reaction.  It may amaze you!
