Fondness and Admiration Challenge: Week 3, Day 5

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

Week 3, Day 5:

  1. Thought: We divide up household chores in a fair way.
  2. Task: Describe one way you do this on a regular basis. If you do not do your share, decide on a chore you will take on (such as doing the laundry).
  3. Response: My wife had prepared a wonderful dinner for friends. Before bed, I thanked her and said I was thankful for our equitable splitting up of chores around our home and for how much she does (shopping, laundry, etc).
  4. Reaction: She thanked me “for all the words of affirmation lately.” I think the accumulative effect of doing this challenge for three weeks now is having an impact!
