Here is my next installment of the John Gottman Principle #2 Fondness and Admiration Challenge!
Week 3, Day 5:
- Thought: We divide up household chores in a fair way.
- 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).
- 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).
- 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!
