Q. What motivated you to start blogging about marriage? 
 

Over the past few of years, my husband and I have put a tremendous amount of energy into making our marriage what we want it to be. Reaching from a time that I was nearly certain "happily ever after," was not in the cards for us, to today where we are happier, stronger and more in love than ever before. 

Throughout these years of making improvements, I have learned a lot about marriage. I have discovered key things that have transformed my marriage to be one that I am extremely proud of. 

I decided that blogging could be my avenue for sharing with other married couples these tools that I have attained that, quite literally, saved my marriage. I felt an intense need to share what I have learned with others. I truly believe that these tools that I have cultivated can help endless couples around the world achieve happier, healthier, sexier and lasting marriages.  ​​

Q. How did you come up with the idea of a marriage journal?  


​Making this journal available to all married couples has been a goal of mine for the last several years. It started back a few years ago when my husband and I were struggling in our marriage. At the time, I was sick of feeling unappreciated and so was my husband. I realized that something needed to change.

I asked my husband if he would be willing to keep an appreciation journal with me. I suggested that every day, at the end of the day, we write a little note of appreciation to each other. He agreed to give it a try and so began my 
marriage's journey to transformation, as well as my intense connection to this journal.

Q. Why is keeping an appreciation journal so important for couples?  

Feeling unappreciated is one of the most common complaints that I hear from married people.  And feeling under-appreciated in a relationship can lead to all kinds of negative feelings: frustration, depression, disconnection, and bitterness. One thing that I know for sure, is that if these feelings are dominating your marriage, then you are headed down a dark path.  

An appreciation journal can help you stay  - or get back on -  the right path. A spouse who feels appreciated and valued is most likely a happy spouse. And happy spouses create long-lasting and happy marriages. 

Q. How has this journal helped nurture your marriage?


Gratitude and appreciation have now become habit, and a normal everyday part of our language toward each other. Now, honestly, not a day goes by without us saying “Thank you.” It may be as simple as, “Thank you for putting away the dishes,” to, “Thank you for being an amazing partner.”  The journal has taught us to say those thoughts of “thanks,” out loud.  Words of gratitude are much more powerful when spoken so they can be heard.

Q. What do you do if only one spouse thinks it is a good idea to keep the journal, and the other doesn't?   

If both spouses are not on-board with participating in the journal, I encourage the one spouse who is interested to use it anyway. I believe that change begins within ourselves.

Focus your energy on what you can do to be a better spouse. Express your daily appreciation with this journal. Spending time focusing regularly on gratitude toward your spouse will help you feel more positive toward them. And, you will take comfort in knowing that you are making every effort to make improvements that will better your relationship.

Q. What other ways can the journal be used to help strengthen marriages?

One of the powers of this journal is that it forces you to look for the good in your partner. It makes you take a moment every day to think of something positive about your spouse. Doing this daily will help you feel more positive toward your spouse and can help you feel more content and happy in your marriage. 

Q. Why would this journal be a perfect gift for Valentine's Day?  

I think the perfect Valentine’s Day gift is one that expresses to your spouse how much you love and value them, and your marriage.  

What better way to show that then to get them a gift that is going to shower them with love, gratitude and appreciation every single day?  It doesn’t get any better than that!

Q. What is one secret you could share that will lead to a happy marriage?  

One thing that I have learned is that creating a happy marriage is a daily choice. It requires you to “show up” for your marriage every day. You cannot expect to have a happy marriage if you do not put in the effort. Marriage requires a daily intention of success in order to flourish.
This journal includes inspirational quotes, ample lined pages for each of you to write your daily thoughts of appreciation, as well as sample excerpts from my own marriage journal. If you are looking for an easy way to help you and your spouse show daily affection and appreciation, then this journal is your answer. I created this journal because using a daily appreciation journal, quite literally, saved my marriage. I discovered, first hand, that using a daily gratitude journal for my marriage had the power to transform the language of my marriage to one of appreciation and thankfulness. This journal requires that you and your spouse only spend a few minutes a day (or even less) filling out one simple sentence of gratitude toward each other. In doing so, you will experience a more abundant and happy marriage because you will start to focus on what is GOOD in your spouse and in your life. Let this journal help you and your spouse discover that using daily words of appreciation and gratitude will help strengthen the foundation of your marriage and help it soar with the power of positive and loving words. Makes a great gift for Newlyweds too. Ships only in the US.

After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +15068001647
you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything. CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS

Hi, did you know there are spells to win love back from an ex. I have done it. I love reading about relationships and how to make them work, how to better the relationship, and how to keep the spark alive, even how to talk to them a certain way to get them to think a different way about the situation and you.
