3. I love you.

3. I love you.

For some married couples, “I love you” is something you tell each other multiple times a day. For others, it is something that we assume our spouse already knows. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t had much success with making assumptions in my marriage. I can’t help but think of my high school AP Psychology teacher, Mr. Bates, when I think about assumptions. He regularly and candidly shared a nugget of wisdom with our junior class, and the one that stuck for me had to do with assumptions. Mr. Bates said, “When you “assume” something, you only make an A-S-S out of Y-O-U and M-E”. I remember being completely shocked my his candor because I had never heard a teacher say the “A-word” in class, but, nevertheless, he had a point. We often make complete and total fools of ourselves when we make assumptions.

Your spouse needs to be reminded that you love him/her on a regular basis. Many of us have no problem telling our kids how much we love them, but our spouse needs that reassurance just as much. Dave and I say “I love you” every time we talk on the phone, text, or head out the door. Repetitious, maybe? Do I ever get tired of saying it or hearing it? No way. I love Dave so much. I honestly don’t think I can tell him enough.
