With Valentine’s Day coming up this weekend, I thought it
would be a good chance to take the time to express love and appreciation to
those we care about the most. The
activity is simple- all it requires is paper, envelopes, pens, and some stamps.
Sit down with your spouse and make a list of people you
would like to thank or express appreciation for. Once you have a list, take some time to talk
about why you put each person on the list and what you want to tell them. Divide up the list or work together on
writing these notes of love and appreciation.
After you finish your list, take some time to write a love letter to
each other. (Make sure to send the note to your spouse through the mail… it’s
way more fun and romantic!)
Also, to add to the fun, if you have love letters from
parents or grandparents, it can be exciting to read about the love they have
for each other and learn more about your family history.
Taking time to express gratitude is a great way to
strengthen relationships. Research shows
it is beneficial for both the giver and receiver. I recently read an article (and have posted
the link below) that says those who feel grateful for their significant other do more
to maintain their relationship. What a
simple way to make everyone feel loved during this Valentine’s Day season.
