Day 10: Little actions have big impact
Today, as you walk through a parking lot, or are just sitting and reading or watching TV on the sofa, reach out and hold her hand. Or put your hand on her knee. Or put your arm around her.
These little actions signal to her that you would choose her all over again – which is one of the things she most needs to know, day to day.
If you do this in public – that's a bonus in the value scale to her.
Tip: Don't try to initiate sex afterward. That way she won't feel that you are showing affection just because you want sex. (If she pursues you, however, that's another story ....!)
Coach's corner:
Sometimes we miss the little things that make the biggest impact on our spouse simply because it wouldn't impact us. Watch your wife's reaction when you put your arm around her. It will probably make you want to do it again! On our surveys, 82% of women said "it deeply pleases me" when their man reaches out and takes her hand.
That is what we call high leverage: a little action with a big impact!
