By asking 2 terrific questions twice a year, every spouse can grow personally while enhancing their marital relationship.

HOW TO DEVELOP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE!!!

HOW TO DEVELOP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE!!!

With all the negative news including the pandemic, it is extremely important to develop a positive attitude each day!  One simple, effective way is to have a daily goal to overcome negative thoughts.  Starting today, do the following: 

1.  Begin each day by saying out loud: “This is the day that God has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!”  Psalm 118:24

2.  When you arise start every day with prayer – say the Lord’s Prayer out loud along with other prayers or at a minimum say “thought” prayers. 

3.  Say out loud: “Today with God’s help, I can and I will, I can and I will, I can and I will.” 

4.  “Love your neighbor as yourself” by saying something encouraging to everyone you speak with, email, or text.

5.  Say out loud or even write down in a journal three things you are grateful for. 

Unhealthy thoughts are the result of bad habits.  Implement these five ideas and be amazed at your positive attitude!

 God’s blessings on your life and relationships!

TO IMPROVE RELATIONSHIPS: MAKE REQUESTS, DO NOT JUST COMPLAIN!

To improve your relationships, ask for verbal or behavior changes.  Complaining and criticizing do not make a positive difference in any relationship.  Instead, make a request in the form of a question with “Will you please . . .”  followed by a solution. 

Complaining and criticizing are easy but it takes courage to ask for what is wanted or expected in order to create a solid connection.  Always take action with requests because that is seeking solutions for a stronger bond.  Make “Will you please . . .” a regular part of your relationship vocabulary.
