Dating is for... MARRIED couples!
Remember - during your dates, there's no discussion of problems or issues. Just have fun together!
Try new things; look for inexpensive activities you can enjoy together. Go on a date when you can. #CoupleTalk https://t.co/E3UFhhmdRL

When you apologize, don't forget empathy.
​Instead of a hasty "I'm sorry, BUT..." change it to a Quick Apology - with Empathy:
1. Name what you did.
2. Empathize. Name the consequences for your spouse. 3. Say - out loud - "I'm sorry."
"Make allowance for each other's faults"

Appreciations change your partner's attitude. Who doesn't feel better after hearing a compliment?
In addition, giving appreciations can change you. By focusing on the "good" about your partner, you're more likely to notice more good things in them.
"Words kill, words give life"

Core Concerns are the main feelings, concerns, and desires about the issue. They are answers to the question: What needs to be in the solution to make you happy or feel satisfied? "Do nothing from selfishness, but with humility regard one another as more important." #CoupleTalk

Daily "Check-Ins" keep you connected "Hang out" for a few min. Try not to have an agenda. Just check in with each other - take time to find out what's going on in your spouse's world. Do it when you can!
"let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love & good deeds."

Are you getting better at...
...how you EXPRESS yourself?
Are you thinking before you speak, rather than blurting out words you end up regretting?
Are you remembering to include positives and appreciations?
"Everyone should be...slow to speak..."
- James 1:19

[CoupleTalk @Couple_Talk]

Appreciations change your spouse, your relationship...and you!
Your partner will feel valued - we all want and need to be valued! Some experts say your marriage is always moving forward (positively) or backward (negatively). Appreciations move you forward!
