Fondness and Admiration Challenge: Week 1, Day 5

Here is my fifth installment of the John Gottman Principle #2 Fondness and Admiration Challenge!  This rounds out the first of seven weeks!

Week 1, Day 5:

1. Thought: My partner has specific qualities that make me proud.
2. Task: Write down one characteristic that makes you proud.
3. Response: I am proud of my wife’s strong convictions – her uncompromising sense of right and wrong. I shared this with her on the phone and with the family around the dinner table later.
4. Reaction: I didn’t get a very strong reaction but could tell she appreciated me recognizing this in her and for expressing it.
