Day 13: Make him laugh
Email or text your husband a joke or funny video – something that is HIS type of humor – with a quick note that you thought he would get a laugh out of it.
Coach's Corner:
Is it easier today, than it was earlier in the Challenge, to figure out something that would be interesting to your husband? That's because you're becoming a "student" of him. If it isn't yet easier, use this as a prompt to get more serious about studying your husband. The research found that in most cases, doing so becomes second nature and yields a host of benefits for the relationship.
"The act of forcing themselves not to be negative, to find and say praiseworthy things, and to be generous each day had an unexpected side effect: they suddenly were attuned to the other person's point of view. Without really intending to, they found that they were putting themselves in the other person's shoes." – The Kindness Challenge
(If you haven't already, determine the different ways you are naturally good at showing generosity and kindness with this online Generosity Assessment.)
The 30-Day Kindness Challenge is brought to you via our partnership with Shaunti Feldhahn, and is based on her research for The Kindness Challenge.
