THE MUTUAL ADMIRATION SOCIETY/ How delightful is a timely word!

I read an article today about telling your mate how much you admire them, so now I want us to do the same thing, list them here and then tonight share the list with them, if you feel like it, you can, send it in an email to your husband. This is how you should list all 3 things, or feel free to do it anyway you want

Your mate also needs you to praise him or her specifically for who he or she is as a person. Sow the good seeds of praise in his or her life with statements such as

'I appreciate you because you...'
'I admire you for your...'
'Thank you for...'

To appreciate means 'to raise in value,' while to depreciate means to 'lower in value.' You can watch your mate's encouragement 'value' go up when you appreciate him or her verbally!

Don't forget to praise your mate for those mundane daily duties

William James said, 'All of us, in the glow of feeling we have pleased, want to do more to please.' Thus, you can help to motivate your mate toward excellence in his or her character and his or her performance by giving generous, liberal and fervent praise

I appreciate you for the wonderful, caring, loving human being you are. The way you put me before your self and do anything in your power to keep me happy, peaceful and calm.

I admire you for the strength that you have. For doing anything that you can for everyone else and for being a well rounded wonderful person.

Thank you for loving me like no one else ever has and never will again. Thank you for bringing my joy like no other. Thank you for being YOU!
