I don’t know about you, but by the end of the day I can feel pulled in a dozen directions. Sometimes my spouse gets what’s left of me, not the best of me.
That’s why I love this simple practice:
Keep a notebook by your bed. Each night, you both write one thing you love or appreciate about each other.
It doesn’t have to be big. Maybe it’s “I love how you made me laugh today” or “Thanks for taking care of the dishes.” The key is making it authentic, it should really come from the heart.
Over time, this little habit becomes a treasure chest of encouragement you can flip back through on hard days. It deepens gratitude, softens tension, and reminds you both that you’re seen and valued, even on the long or hard days.
So why not start tonight? Grab a notebook, and write your first note. It takes less than a minute, but it fills your marriage with gratitude and connection.
