每天讀一點(diǎn)英文:那些美好而憂傷的記憶 39 創(chuàng)造婚姻奇跡的小字眼
Using terms of endearment like honey or sweetheart from time to time is a small but important way to keep a marriage loving. These terms make the other person feel loved and special. There are some other words that can help make your spouse feel special and aware of how much you love and appreciate him.
"Thank you." We would not never thank a friend or co-worker for helping us out. But sometimes we forget to thank the person who we love most: our spouse. All couples forget now and then to thank each other for all they do. But thanking each other is a good habit to fall into because gratitude is necessary for the growth of love. Knowing that their actions are appreciated makes a couple more giving toward each other, and the more you give to each other the more your love will grow.
"Please." Please, like thank you, is easy to forget to say, but it too is very important in a relationship. Because it is another way of letting your partner know you don't take him for granted and that his time and effort count.
"You are great." Do you know that this sentence can make him feel good about himself all day? Now that you know how nice it makes him feel to be complimented, you should try to do it as often as you can. As an added bonus, he will begin paying compliments to you more often. This is not surprising since, experts, say, compliments are a two-way street. So the more compliments you give, the more you get. Often couples will think nice things about each other but not verbalize their thoughts because they're just not in the habit of doing so. But when one of them starts, the other will pick up on the cue and begin doing the same.
"I love you." in a new way a small variation such as "I love you more each day" can make a big difference in how you feel about each other. When you say "I love you" the exact same way over and over, your spouse may start to discount it. On the other hand, a fresh phrase can help keep the relationship fresh. For instance, you can express your love for him by saying "I'm so glad you're in my life." I'm sure he will be really impressed and touched, and you two will feel closer.
