Are you practicing gratitude daily? What relationships are on your list? Is your marriage at the top of the list?

Something that I say as a Marriage Therapist in Florida is, “One marriage goal that every couple should have is to nurture your relationship so you can grow together in all the different phases of your lives.” A quote that goes along with my thoughts is one from Fawn Weaver, “Having a partner in this lifetime-to grow together, love completely, ride out every storm and overcome all of life’s challenges-is one of the most beautiful blessings of marriage.”

If you could have one holiday wish for your marriage, what would it be?
Better communication?
Deeper connection?
Feeling appreciated?
Working together as a team?
Being a priority?
More intimacy?
Is your wish simply a “fantasy holiday wish” or with a little help can it become your marriage reality?

December is usually an extra busy month for many people and relationships. The added responsibilities of the busy season can sometimes add stress to an individual, couple and/or family. Please take the time to check in with yourself and your spouse. Take some time for self care. Remember, self care is not selfish. It is vital to your well being.

Life is usually hectic, especially around this time of year. Please keep in mind that the little things in marriage matter! The little things make a difference and send a message to your spouse. The message is, “you are important to me and I care.” What a powerful message for your spouse to receive!
Dr. John Gottman, a world-renowned therapist, says “It’s the small things done often that make the biggest difference”. What do you think about that quote?

In my personal life, as a wife and marriage therapist for over two decades, I know the importance of the little things. For example my husband likes his coffee cold and I keep brewed coffee in the refrigerator. When I notice the container getting low, I brew some coffee and chill it in the refrigerator. That way whenever he goes for a cup, it is always there. Another example is that I do not enjoy pumping gas, so my husband regularly checks the gas gauge and when he sees it getting low, he takes it to the station and fills it up. We both appreciate each other’s gestures of love and it does put smiles on our faces.

How often do you and your spouse hug? When you hug, how do you feel? Do you feel happy and safe, wanting the hug to linger or do you feel uncomfortable, in a hurry for the hug to end? What does the feeling say to you about your relationship?

When you and your spouse talk about a topic, do you each other? If you do, stop. Please let your spouse finish their thought. It is important that you each feel like your voice is being heard and you can fully say what you want to say. can also make your spouse feel shut down, like what they want to say does not matter. It also moves the conversation’s point of view, from the spouse who was speaking to the spouse who was listening. Do you listen to your spouse’s ? When you listen, postpone your own agenda, and please hear your spouse’s perspective. You do not need to agree with their perspective. Just try to understand why they feel that way.
