At request I’ve posted the first 7 days of challenges.  Next Friday, I’ll post the next 7.  Please keep in mind that while this comes from a Christian perspective it will still apply to any faith or non-faith. To wit:

Day one = please don’t say or do anything mean to your sig-O.

Day two = Repeato day one and add a random act of kindness toward your sig-O.

Day three = Repeato Day 1, 2, and buy something nice for your sig-O.

Day four = Repeato day 1, 2, and then call them and see if there is anything you can do for them today.

Day five = Repeato Day 1,2,4, and ask your Sig-O to name 3 things that irritate them about you, do so without being confrontational AND defensive, then reflect on those things and try to adjust.

Day six = Repeato day 1,2,4, and react to tough situations in your relationship with kindness and understanding.  Reflect on the situation and understand where you may be over-reacting.

Day seven = Repeato Day 1,2,4,and 6 AND a written assignment: get two sheets of paper, on the first sheet write down only positive things you enjoy ABOUT your spouse on the other negative things.  Now, put them away for a later day during this cycle.  Compliment them each day on something from the first sheet.
