I recently decided to share "Free Advice Fridays" on my personal Facebook page. The first one was titled, "Water your own grass." It was important for me to share why I am constantly writing about how much I love my husand and how good he is to me. This is not about bragging or implying that he is any better than any other husband on the planet, but it is my way of watering my own grass.
The law of attraction states that we bring about what we speak about. Is my husband always perfect? No, he is far from it but I choose to focus on the positive and reinforce that behavior. I make a conscious choice to be thankful for all of the things that he does for me and guess what? He continues to do more! It's like my Grandmother Corbitt used to always say, "If you keep thanking God, He will continue to bless you." This applies to our relationships with our spouses as well.
There are many other ways in which we can water our own grass. Making your spouse and your marriage a priority by spending quality time together is certainly another effective way. Having date night or simply going for a walk or a hike will allow you to continue to connect to each other in a way that is essentially for maintaining the intimacy in your marriage. In the bedroom, I am a firm believer in keeping the spark alive in your marriage so that it doesn't get to be too routine or boring. In short, make your marriage a priority!
The key is to reflect on why you fell in love in the first place, focus on that and be thankful for the love in your life. And always remember - the grass is not greener on the other side it's green where you water it!
Love & Blessings,
Pia
