Fondness and Admiration Challenge: Week 2, Day 4

Posted on Author SethPosted in Missteps, WoA Challenges

Here is my next installment of the John Gottman Principle #2 Fondness and Admiration Challenge! 

Week 2, Day 4:

  1. Thought: My spouse is my best friend.
  2. Task: What secret about you does your spouse know?
  3. Response: Well, if I told you it wouldn’t be a secret anymore, would it? I told my wife she was my best friend this morning. I’m not sure I’ve ever said that directly. I also needed to apologize for some critical words/tone I used the night before (which is not how you would treat your best friend).
  4. Reaction: This was one of the most impactful statements I’ve made to my wife and certainly scratched the WoA itch. This phrase is one I’ll keep in my arsenal for sure.
