Here is my next installment of the John Gottman Principle #2 Fondness and Admiration Challenge!
Week 6 Day 2:
- Thought: My partner is an interesting person.
- Task: Plan something to ask your mate about that interests both of you.
- Response: We had a date night and talked about a lot of different topics – pretty much whatever came to mind.
- Reaction: I think the challenge more often is listening to things that my spouse talks about that do not interest me. I suspect this is a subset of WoA love language (listening well) but certainly don’t have it all figured out. What I do know is that if you are not a good listener, you probably don’t respond well with affirming words which can be a problem.
