Recently, Aaron and I watched the DVD "The Secret", which is based on the book by Rhonda Byrne. I just watched it for the second time on Sunday. It is something that I am going to try to watch on a weekly basis until I get the habit of thinking positively fully incorporated into my daily life.
After watching the movie for the second time two statements in particular jumped out at me. "Do you treat others how you wish to be treated?" and "Make a list of all the things that you appreciate in your partner." I have definitely noticed that being new parents our relationship has been put on the back burner. So, my mission this week is to get into the habit of telling Aaron all the reasons that I love him...whether they are serious or silly.
So, starting on Sunday evening I started sticking little post-it notes around the house that started with "I love you because..." I have continued all week and have also included the random text messages throughout the day when I am not home. And the end result, it makes us both feel great! Aaron came home yesterday and thanked me and told me how much he has enjoyed our little messages. And he has reciprocated by telling me why he loves me. It is a fun exercise and I hope that it will continue as a tradition in our relationship! I hope this will also lead to a tradition we will share with Ava when she is old enough to understand.
