After we’ve been with someone for a while—whether that person is a friend, partner, or business colleague—we naturally tend to take that relationship for granted, forgetting to take into consideration his or her feelings and treating them with acts of love.
Today’s dare is to contact your spouse at some time during the day with no agenda other than to ask how s/he is and if there’s anything you can do for them. Really, this is something we should be doing everyday anyway. It’s one of the things I love about being in a relationship: the daily call just to say hello. My heart would always skip a beat when I saw my guy’s name or number on the cell phone, and we’d have a 10- to 20-minute call about, well, nothing. But it didn’t matter because it was a way to reconnect.
Are you putting your partner first in your life and going out of your way to show that you care? A daily call, surprise visits to work, little notes in a lunch box … all of these things are great reminders of your love. Truly, it’s the little things that make up a great relationship. They don’t cost a lot of money (if anything) but they go really far in building a great foundation on love.
Ah. This is my FAV one. These little “reconnections” are what come to me most naturally. I just need to find someone who appreciates them & reciprocates them! I do them for my friends, son & (FEW) family members. I love letting them know I was thinking of them. We all always have things going on in our lives. These little things are most important to me. I know I remember them above & beyond the “big” gestures made.
