An Idea – Look for Positive Things

In Gary Chapman’s The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts chapter titled “Loving the Unlovely” is buried an interesting idea for the spouse struggling with using Words of Affirmation.

“Look for positive things in Glenn’s life and give him verbal affirmation about those things.”

Ok. Seems intuitive and easy enough, right?

He goes on: “In the meantime, stop all verbal complaints. If you want to complain about something, write it down in your personal notebook rather than saying anything about it to Glenn this month.”

I think this is something I’m interested in trying!
