I just did an intensive with a couple and had them make a list of 5 things they were grateful for about their partner and their relationship. This was a high conflict couple that was in “crisis” and surprisingly they completed this exercise easily and with smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.
As they were sharing their lists with one another, I noticed that most of what they were saying to one another were the exact things they came in complaining about their partner. When I pointed this out to them, they were laughing and knew that was true. I reminded them that love is a choice, and the story they tell themselves is ultimately their reality.
Choose to lean into gratitude, each and every moment you possibly can. And your love will continue to grow. “And love will carry us through.” -Trey Anastasio, Trey Anastasio Band
