2. In Everything, Give Thanks
Say “Thank You” and make an effort to regularly demonstrate your genuine gratefulness for all your partner does for you. There are going to be times when this will seem an impossible chore. Perhaps you’ll be furious with your partner over something or other and they’ll point out something they did, hoping for praise. How will you respond? Will you offer your praise and thanks then deal with your anger separately? Or will you close up like a shell and torture your partner with inconsolable silence?
You care about making your relationship work so I expect you’ll swallow your momentary pride and say thank you. After all, your partner deserves at least the same courtesy you’d give to a complete stranger. When you cannot be gracious, be polite. Make a habit of offering thanks to your partner, even for the tiniest of things, and a sapling of thankfulness will grow into something strong enough to support you both.
2. 對每件事,表示感謝
說“謝謝”并努力經常地表露你真誠地感謝情人為你做的所有。需要時間來講這些變成一種不煩悶的事。也許你會因為某事對你的情人或其他人暴怒,他們會指出他們做了的某事,希望被贊揚。你會如何反應?你會表示你的贊賞和感謝然后獨自處理你憤怒的情緒?或者你會像個貝殼那樣關閉自己用極度沮喪的沉默折磨你的情人?
你擔心你的感情生活所以我希望你能收起你短暫的驕傲然后表達出感謝。畢竟,你的愛人應該得到至少你對一個完全陌生人表達出的禮貌。當你無法做到親切時,至少保持禮貌。養(yǎng)成對愛人表達感謝的習慣,即使對最微小的事,一句感謝的幼苗會成長為強壯地足夠支持你們兩人的大樹。
