The Ingredients
The ingredients I am about to share with you are not for everyone. If you don’t find yourself somewhere on this spectrum than this recipe is not for you.

Think about it
You don’t have to say anything or do anything different. All you have to do is think about it and write it down. Let’s break this down into a week by week progression.
Week 1: Take a moment every day to stop and think. Identify something your partner does that you appreciate. It can be something very mundane, something you might have be taking for granted. It could be fixing something, cleaning something, or whatever. You can do this in your head each day, but I guarantee the results will be much more powerful if you get a notebook and write something new it every day.
Week 2: Take a moment every day to stop and think. Identify some character trait your partner possesses that you admire. Try to identify a new character trait each day and write it in your notebook.
Week 3: Take a moment every day to think of something that your partner is particularly good or skilled at, that you like. Stretch yourself, try to come up with something new each day and write it down.
Week 4: Pay attention to your partner’s body. Notice something about your partner’s body that is attractive to you. Get creative here and be specific. How would you describe this to your partner? Find something new that is attractive each day. It can be the obvious parts or it can be toes, eyes, hair, back of shoulders, or calf muscles.
So, hopefully just reading this hasn’t already pushed you over the edge. Do it. It might not be easy, but it is worth it. I guarantee that it will change how you feel in your relationship.
