Benjamin Holmgren shares the following wisdom:
...your attitude sets the tone for the rest of the evening within 15 seconds of walking in the door.
So really, it's not tiny at all. It's a huge deal.”
How you greet your spouse each day may seem like a very small thing. Do you stop what you are doing and greet him/ her with a kiss or hug? Do you yell “ hello” through the house? Do you continue to do your task and not even acknowledge him/her walking in? How does it make you feel when your spouse does or does not greet you? Think about it. This small action, you may do 7-20 times a week with your spouse. So really this small thing becomes a HUGE thing in your marriage.
If you can fix 25 little things, like coming home, you will have an extraordinary life. “ Jordan Petrson
Taking your children to Disneyland, might sound like the best way to show you love them, but it is soon forgotten. Kissing your kid and tucking them in each night, this is something they soon count on & leaves them feeling loved and cared for each day.
It’ s the small things that end up earning you or costing you your best life. What little thing means A LOT to you? What small thing will you do today that speaks “ You Matter to Me.” to your spouse?
