This month has been a good one. Well, focusing on my relationship has been good and important. It wasn’t as though my marriage was in shambles before, but I have realized that with a little focus things can be better. We had a couple of more argumentative days and a little distance. What I learned in this month was just how important communication is. Just talking about things makes everything better even though it is sometimes the last thing either of us want to do. Now sure I knew this already, but I was just comfortable with the way it was. Shaking things up and forcing more communication in areas that we don’t normally focus on has been challenging, but very rewarding. It all started this month with a lack of understanding of our money as you read. Since then we designated a finance night to talk about all that. We also talked about all sorts of things in our relationship all the way from being better at talking on the phone to sitting next to each other on the couch. A lot came out and it was a time that was needed for us. We ended the week going to church together and having a date night at home on the couch with a good movie. We really did just make something that was pretty good even better. It wasn’t easy to focus on love and realizing it needed work, but it was well worth it.
The other half of this month was to love myself by working out and treating my health better. I didn’t do so bad at this. Kinda funny- while writing this now I am watching the documentary Super Size Me. Holy cow! I am way healthier then a give myself credit for considering I could be a lot worse off. So, anyway even though I didn’t get a workout in everyday I did up my running and stretching. Generally, I have felt good!
All in all, not perfect but a good start for bringing more love into my life.
