Messages for encouraging partners

(October 2006) (rank 14th)

We have had messages for encouraging kids but what about the other important person in the family- your partner. Keeping the relationship with our partners healthy and strong is an important part of providing a loving secure environment and setting a positive example for our children.

If you

are going through a rough patch you may like to try looking for opportunities to slip one or two of these in (without sarcasm). It may just help to lift the mood.

If you are not in a relationship (or even if you are) you might like to find opportunities to adapt these comments for yourself. Pat yourself on the back.

Messages for encouraging partners (adapt as required)

I love you.
I am so glad I met you.
I’m so glad I married you
You’re the best.

Look at what we have achieved together

Re: Messages for encouraging partners

I love this, especially the examples of some notes that might be passed to make the other half feel special. In my experience it certainly pays off as people reciprocate when spoilt. Always a worthwhile endevour in my book!
Peace

He may not need to actually read it himself. You may find that he starts doing it to you in response to you doing it to him more.

Worked for us

It has worked for us. No matter how mad you are at each other. When you say those words like "I love you" or "thank you for doing...." it always makes eachother better. Excellent advice.

Thanks for the ideas!

I think we all need to be reminded not to forget the most important person in our lives.

My hubby and I can be soppy like this... LOL

The hubby and I get soppy like this some times. The other morning (mind you I think he was still asleep), Francis woke up real early with a really bad nappy, and he was kicking, screaming, the dog was chewing one of Francis's toys then decided to pee on the floor, it was not a good start to the day. The monitor was still on in our bed room and I had left the door open, I look over to our room where my hubby was still sleeping and I was willing him to wake up, as I was doing this, he sat up straight in bed looked at me and said, I love you Jess your doing a great job! Then went right back to sleep again... Although this does not excuse the fact that he did not actually get out of bed to lend a helping hand, the fact that even while sleeping he has time to tell me he loves me and that I am doing a good job was enough to put a smile on my face keeping me happy to get through the kicking and screaming and the peeing dog....

appreciating each other

Love the advice, I think for myself and possibly the general public that I am just so busy that I forget to show my appreciation to my husband, and vice versa... But I am definately going to remember your advice and put in more effort to show him I care, oh and have him read this as well .. as a little friendly reminder to him as well lol.

appreciating each other

You may find that you don't even need to get him to read it. Just doing it to him may start him off too.

Agree

I have been very unlucky to have had to many friends pass away, and there are so many things I miss that I can not tell those people anymore, so I have a very strong motto that life is to short to argue, fight or not say everything you feel in your heart to your loved ones especially my beautiful partner you just don't know what is around the corner. Great advice I love it

Agree

Thank you. I nearly lost Haydon to a medical emergency just after we first got together nearly three years ago and then last year it was pretty scarey when he had his brain surgery. I tell him every day how much I love him and appreciate him. He is an amazing man so it is really easy to find nice things to say.

Totally agree

Well said! Some of the advice I have read I have also adapted to my husband. Like sending notes everyday in lunches, my husband's included I am already seeing results! I was thinking that maybe there should be a group for those who want to talk about relationship issues, what do you think?

Reply

	5.00 (Excellent) \| October 2006 \| MumKim

Totally agree

Not sure about a group. I thing relationship issues often get talked about in people's blogs as they arise and when people make comments on the blog. It is kind of more specific to the issue at the time.

Messages to partner

We never forget little things that mean big. We always think that we're lucky and blessed everyday. Sometime we talked about the time we met, etc, etc, and those memoirs just kept us love each other more.

Messages to partner

Haydon and I do the same. We have only been married for one year but I really want to keep that 'something special' that we have together.
I was married before and it was not a very happy marriage, I think that has helped me to appreciate what a terrific man I have now and what a great relationship we have together.

You are lucky and clever to have found it first time around.
