Here I am again, eager to share something new my husband and I started this past December. First of all, a very happy new year to all of you out there! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog posts :)
So here goes. You see, I recently heard about this custom the Catholics have called the "Advent Calendar". So a month or so before Christmas, they give small gifts to each person in the family every single day. I was so taken up by this custom, that I decided we should do something similar. We decided we would write a small note with a compliment to each other every day till 1st of Jan. Odd dates would be his turn (Odd stands for Adam) and even dates for me (Even stands for Eve)
I'm so glad my husband was faithful in doing this with me through the past month. It has been intensely uplifting and encouraging. We realized there's great value in saying something positive to each other and making each other feel special. It's particularly wonderful to write something positive to the other after a fight! Lol.
Its important to preserve love in your marriage, especially after you have a kid. Many parents forget to continue to bond with each other and end up living their lives around their children, and when their kids fly the nest, they are left staring at each others, feeling like strangers. Let that not be our story. Let's resolve this new year, that along with being wonderful parents, we will be even better partners to our spouse.
