27. What do you admire?
Maybe the list of things you have been looking for in a spouse is completely removed from the things you admire in humankind.
One of the greatest traits we can have in a marriage is mutual respect.
Respect goes way beyond an initial spark of attraction and someone’s physical appearance. It is founded in admiration.
Draw a person.
Now brainstorm around that picture the things you admire most in people.
Remind yourself of these things when you are meeting new people and branching out on new opportunities.
The greatest relationships are founded in respect and admiration.
“Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that’s a real treat.”
Joanne Woodward
