I have many people ask me what they can do to help their marriage during their journey. I have often reflected on how Ed and I make it work. There is a lot of discussion, prayer, and acceptance. Also, we try to hear the perception each of us has on situations. However, the one bit of advice I give is to find that one thing, you can do for your spouse that is just for them each day. This isn’t something that is for the family, this is about just them.
Each morning, Ed goes to kitchen and makes me my coffee. I drink bullet proof coffee so this isn’t just a straight black coffee so it take a few minutes. He does that and it is something just for me. He then brings it up to me while I am getting ready. It sounds so small but it is that one thing he does that is special for me. That he takes an extra five minutes out of his day just to start my day right.
Ed does many things special for us and I don’t want you to think coffee is all he does. What I do want to encourage you to do is find that one thing you can do everyday that will be consistent and just for your spouse. It is something that will make them happy and is dedicated just for them.
With all the craziness, I encourage you pick something small so it doesn’t get to be a burden or frustration sets in during the task. However, find out what you can do each day to make one another smile.
