We’ve just passed through the time of year when campaign ads everywhere were boasting accomplishments and character qualities of various candidates in hopes that you would be convinced to vote for him/her. While these ads can be quite the annoyance by the time Election Day arrives, there is something we can take away from this beyond who should be holding our country’s political positions.
Our spouse or significant other could use our vote of confidence. When was the last time you paraded his/her qualities, strengths, and accomplishments to the public? Now, I am not talking about arrogance or conceit, but rather a loving way of showing your vote of confidence and pride in your spouse. Conveying your appreciation of your other half in front of friends and family can be a major boost to his/her self-esteem and confidence. It’s like a shot of love injected straight into his/her love tank.
It is easy to get caught up in the shortcomings of our loved one, but try to campaign for your relationship by touting the strengths. The next time you see an opportunity for you to say something kind about your guy or gal, seize it. You won’t be sorry that you did!
Has your spouse/significant other ever expressed outward love, appreciation, or admiration of you in public? How did it make you feel? Share your stories!
