Well it is only day 9 of this challenge and I must admit that this has been a really eye-opening experience. By doing my best to not say negative things and take more time to say positive things to my husband I have seen a real difference in our home. Not just on his part; but mainly on my part.
His part - He seems a lot happier and more smiley (if that makes any sense).
We have done a lot of laughing together and this may seem sad; but it is just the truth...when you have built a relationship on negative communication it actually feels weird to be...happy. I feel like we are learning each other all over again. Learning how to say nice things to each other and not hurtful. We are having fun doing things FOR THE OTHER PERSON.
My part - I believe that by spending more time looking for things I can compliment him on it has taken my focus off all the little annoying things. Which in turn has made me much happier. Instead of looking at the dark negative things I feel like I have been shown the light!!
It is funny how something as simple as this challenge could have such a great impact on our home. Can't wait to see what else this month holds for us. Praise the Lord!!!
