Fondness and Admiration Challenge: Week 6, Day 1

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

Week 6 Day 1:

  1. Thought: There is lots of good loving in my marriage.
  2. Task: Think of a special trip you took together.
  3. Response:  We are planning a big anniversary trip coming up.  I decided to email my wife about all the fun trips we’ve had over the years and tell her that I’m looking forward to this one.
  4. Reaction:  We agreed that we have not kept up on alone time trips since having kids and that we miss it.  We are both looking forward to our big trip but should also schedule a mini overnight without the kids sometime.  We could only think of twice in 12 years we’ve done that!
