Day 22: Something Special
Today, reinforce one thing your wife does that makes you feel special. Tell her what she does and how it makes you feel. Thank her for it.
Your wife probably already tries to show you how important you are to her, and this lets her know that her efforts are noticed and meaningful to you. The research for The Kindness Challenge found that she will be more likely to repeat something if she knows it is working ... especially if she wonders if you ever even notice.
Note: If the "something special" is related to sex, be careful to refrain from initiating sex right after you tell her this! That will build her trust in your intentions.
Coach's corner:
Are you having trouble thinking of something that she does that makes you feel special? Think about your birthday or Father's Day, and how those days are different because of your wife. How does she make those days stand out from the rest for you? Think about how she treats you differently than the rest of the male population!
You don't have to find something big to mention. Anything she does that makes you feel special is worth noticing.
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.
