CloseMarriage Course - September 5, 2012
Day 19 - Express our Appreciation
• make your husband or wife feel like the most important person in the world to you
• focus on what you like and admire about your partner
• express gratitude for what your partner does
• show appreciation for who your partner is
• make it a daily discipline
Question:Write down six things you appreciate about your husband or wife. (Be specific: it may be thanking them for what they do, or it may be expressing your appreciation for who they are-try to make it a mixture looking particularly for things you may have come to take for granted)
When you have both finished, show each other what you have put.
You may wish to complete this on the worksheet under "Study Guide"
