Fondness and Admiration Challenge: Week 1, Day 3

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

Week 1, Day 3:

1. Thought: I can easily remember romantic, special times in our marriage.
2. Task: Pick one such time and think about it.
3. Response: I chose a night we spent on vacation years ago where we walked on a beach after sunset and were all alone there.
4. Reaction: She agreed we’ve had some romantic times.

I’ve noted (not very far into this challenge) that the investment in thought and words from me has been met with surprisingly few words in response. I guess I expected a WoA spouse to respond in a more verbose way.
