Dr. John & Dave Akerly 7-14-20 1320 AM WILS THE IMPORTANCE OF ONGOING SMALL ACTS OF KINDNESS AND TENDERNESS ARE THE CORE OF A HAPPY MARRIAGE The core of successful marriages are not just the high points. Those are very important but the core of success occurs during the countless thousands of hours spent together. These would include the following: 1.KIND WORDS. 2.ENCOURAGEMENT. 3.HUGS. 4.LOVING LOOKS. 5.LOVING TOUCHES. 6.PLAYFUL HUMOR. 7.THOUGHTFUL LISTENING. 8. SUPPORTIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING. 9.UNDERSTANDING. 10.COMPLEMENTS. 11.TOLERANCE IN DIFFICULT TIMES. 12.CIVILIZED ANGER. 13.NOTICE AND APPRECIATE ACTS OF KINDNESS AND LOVE. 14.SPECIFIC DAYS OF APPRECIATION AND LOVE…Even though most persons would agree these are basic components of a successful marriage/relationship, they also would admit they too often do not do them. The time to focus on them is now.
