Pen and Paper

This week’s tip is going to be short and sweet. One beautiful gift you can give to your spouse this week is a letter of gratitude. In it, spend a good bit of time letting your spouse know how much you appreciate the gifts and joy they bring to your life. Let them know that you see their internal beauty as well as their external attractiveness. Put a lot of thought into it. Use descriptive words, and whatever you do, don’t use the word “but.” Nothing helpful is going to follow. Hand write it, don’t type it. It shows more effort. Seal it up in an envelope, and give it to your spouse in some creative way. Then say a prayer that God will use it to build a deeper connection between the two of you.

ACTION STEP: This week, follow the instructions above.
