The beautiful season of spring has emerged with the promise of new
beginnings.
During the cold winter months when I visit my garden, I swear that there is no way anything can grow from that frozen soil and the dry brown underbrush.
But, lo and behold, every spring those sweet little shoots of life begin to pop up.
New life can blossom in your marriage too, sometimes when you least expect it.
Here are three necessary seeds you can plant in your marriage this spring to help keep it alive and vibrant.
It's the little things that count. This could mean bringing in the groceries or putting on the coffee in the morning. Or it might be texting your partner during the day just to say, "Hi."
On some days it could be a surprise, like getting tickets for a special event, bringing home a favorite dessert, or scraping ice off the car on a cold winter morning before your
partner wakes up.
Be creative. Experience the thrill in the unexpected.
When couples first come to see me and each partner is blaming the other, I know we have some serious work to do. If you want
to make real change in your relationship, focus on what you can do to make positive change rather than wishing and wondering when your partner is going to change.
There have been countless studies showing how gratitude can
dramatically improve your life. When you focus on what you want instead of what you don’t want, more of what you want shows up. ( it was actually always there, you just didn't notice it).
When you apply this to your relationship, you begin to see your partner and your marriage in a fresh new light.
New life can blossom in a marriage even after a cold hard winter.
It just may need some extra TLC to make it happen.
So make a commitment today to give your marriage the time and attention it needs to blossom into the amazing relationship you really want to have.
