Q & A: Gratitude Hacks When Your Marriage Hits a Rough Patch
When things aren’t going well in marriage, it’s easy to fall into a cycle of complaints, but gratitude can be a powerful antidote to bitterness and resentment.
Here’s a quick recap of tips on maintaining gratitude:
-
Acknowledge Small Wins: Start your day by focusing on one positive aspect of your partner or something they did that you appreciate.
-
Focus on What You Can Control: Control your attitude, words, and actions. Be grateful for the choices you have, even in trying times.
-
Look for Lessons: Every challenge can be a learning opportunity. Consider what valuable lessons or growth your current circumstances might offer.
Remember, gratitude isn’t just an attitude; it’s a practice. Incorporate these and other gratitude practices throughout your day and watch your relationship bounce back.
