If you are seeking to improve your relationship, consider that you may think it is broken, or that something is wrong with it. If that’s the case, it is likely that you don’t feel very grateful for your relationship, or your partner. When you feel ungrateful, others can sense it; and it has a tremendous impact on your relationship in ways that aren’t always easy to see. To rapidly enhance your relationship, try the attitude of gratitude.

Ask yourself what you are truly grateful for. Are you grateful for your partner, your relationship, the things you have, the things your partner does for you, the fact that you have a partner; or are you more aware of how these things are not the way you want them to be? If you aren’t grateful for what you have, imagine not having it at all. If the prospect excites you, then you are in the wrong place. But, if the idea of losing this relationship and this partner does not appeal to you, consider that maybe you do have something to be grateful for, after all.

Try affirming your partner, life, health, and relationship every day. Tell yourself that you are grateful for your partner and all they do; and that you are grateful for being happy, healthy, and in a caring, loving, devoted, and fulfilling relationship. This may not seem true to you at first; but keep affirming the reality you most desire, and you will ultimately create the conditions you affirm. You don’t need to remind yourself daily that things could always be worse; but, once you realize that fact, you need to be diligently grateful that they aren’t. Apply gratitude – with enthusiasm and determination – in every area of your life and relationship and watch your relationship flourish as a result.
