Fondness and Admiration Challenge: Week 4, Day 4

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

Week 4, Day 4:

  1. Thought: I don’t like things about my partner, but I can live with them.
  2. Task: What is one of these minor faults that you’ve adapted to?
  3. Response: Yikes! This is sketchy territory so I chose to tread lightly. I just mentioned that our marriage has quirks and challenges (like introvert vs. extrovert issues) and that I’m proud of how we’ve adapted to them over many years of marriage.
  4. Reaction: She was appreciative of the comment and recognized also how far we’ve come.
