31 Days of Love Challenge
Okay you guys! I can't hide my excitement but it's a month until my birthday! Obviously under 30 if I am still excited right? lol Well back to challenge...how did your talk go? Did you realize a bad habit you didn't know bothered your partner? Was it a big deal or was it something silly? In our case, J hates when/if we argue that I shut down instead of talking about it. Personally I do it because I'd rather stay quiet than say things I'll regret later but now that I realize he'd rather me talk about it immediately, I will have to think about what I'll say before so I avoid any mean comments. On to today...
Day TwentyThree
Protect his reputation. Don't speak bad about your man to friends/family. Always make him look good and your love will grow stronger. (This does not include diaries/blogs/or twitter where you may be anonymous or where you don't have people you know)
Yes he will make you angry, yes he will act in ways that will frustrate you, but in the end if you are with him in the long run, you will get through those things. Most of our arguments are probably over frivolous things anyway...think about it! I do know how annoying it may be to ask him to take the trash out every Monday when he should already know but men just need direction most of the time lol. You as his wife/partner, need to protect his reputation by always speaking well of him. If you get mad at him and go to your mom or friends every time you guys disagree, of course your loved ones will be on your side and then they will resent your man for making you feel that way. If they only see or hear about him when you guys argue they will think that's all there is to him. Don't forget to emphasize when he goes beyond and above even in small things. Always talk about the good and what a great husband he is. You can vent on a diary or on twitter if you don't have people you know, or if you don't like these options, of course you can vent to your friends, but remind them that it is just an argument which happen in marriage/relationships, and you still love him and not to be mad at him because he IS a great companion.
This is a simple task we may forget in the heat of the moment, but it is great to the relationship and to your man's esteem. Imagine when a friend tell them how you always speak amazing things of him...he will feel proud to be your partner and empowered.
