Alright, it’s time to introduce our Marriage Research laboratory Experiment of the Month (MLEM if you like- you can remember it due to the fact that it sounds like phlem).
This year all our experiments are based on Gary Chapman’s 5 Love Languages publication as well as February will certainly be all about. … WORDS OF AFFIRMATION!
Right here’s the experiment clarified clinical approach design:
TROUBLE:
We really feel detached from our spouses when we forget to make an initiative to link.
Research studies have actually shown our positive to negative communications need to be at a proportion of 5:1 for a healthy partnership, and we require a way to guarantee we maintain the proportion on the silver lining.
Our spouses feel unpopular when we neglect to reveal we appreciate them.
EXPERIMENT METHOD: SEND OUT OUR PARTNER A NICE TEXT OR E-MAIL OR NOTE EACH DAY.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
a phone or computer or pen and paper.
happy heart
HYPOTHESIS:
Our spouses like tanks will be fuller as they feel extra observed, liked and also appreciated
We will notice more of the positive things our partner’s do rather than focusing on the adverse

Likewise, as part of the words of affirmation challenge, I will be publishing day-to-day for the very first 2 week of February (up until Valentine’s day) responding to one of these love letter prompts:
When did you first know they were the one for you? How?
What is a skill they’ve created this year they should take pride in?
What makes your partner various from any individual else in the world?
When was a time they made you blush? (in an excellent way).
Inform exactly how they make you really feel excellent concerning yourself (be specific).
What is something your companion does that you think is hot?
When is a time you were extremely proud to be married to your partner?
What have they aided you accept about on your own? How?
What are a couple of little things they do that just make you smile?
Explain a date you’ve been on with each other when you had a lot of enjoyable.
If you could return in time to a down-on-their-luck young version of your companion, what would you inform them concerning just how incredible they turn out?
What is a quirk your partner has that you discover charming?
What is your preferred memory with your companion this past year?
What one point could you do today to make your companion better?
These would create terrific motivates for your everyday text/email/note, OR the collection of these love letters would make for a GREAT Valentine’s gift!
We did the very same thing last February with different prompts and wonderful success. Filling out love letter triggers daily loaded me with all type of butterflies as well as mush.
