Moving Toward a Power SNUGGLE

What you can do TODAY to improve your relationship!

Step 1: Tell yourself....

"It’s the relationship I want to improve. I want to recapture the joy we had when we first met."

Step 2: Think of three things you really like about your partner.

Step 3: Three times during the day, tell your partner you appreciate him or her because of these things.

Congratulations! Pat yourself on your back. You have started to improve your relationship! That is your reward!

Don’t expect your partner to respond immediately to your appreciations by changing his or her behavior. However, over time, your partner will feel warmer toward you and will want to appreciate you in return.
