Valentine’s All Year
Start Valentine's Day right!
Join me and other great couples for “Valentine’s All Year” the Saturday before Valentine’s Day from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Kick-off your Valentine's Day in this fun, upbeat and informative mini-retreat learn how to be more mindful and attentive of your relationship throughout the year. What better gift to give each other than to commit to enhancing your marriage by learning skills that will continue throughout the year to reinforce your love for each other. Give the best gifts: the gifts of knowledge, commitment, appreciation, communication, and time together.
Valentine’s Day all year?
Why not? Why not take all the time, attentiveness, thoughtfulness, and planning that goes into Valentine’s Day and spread it throughout the whole year? Sounds good, yes, but is it really practical?
Guiding principle: Practical romance.
Yes. Not only is it practical, it also simply makes a lot of sense. Valentine’s all year does not need to be flowers and dining out every day. It is about splurging with our attention and with our commitments for one another. Practical romance is all about showering one’s spouse with simple, fun, deep, profound, silly, and meaningful words and deeds on a regular and consistent basis and not just once a year. Valentine’s all year is not a fluffy, superficial approach to romance. At this point in my life, I only have time for real, practical, solid approaches that simply work.
Guiding principle: Don’t just wish, want or hope. Decide.
To get great relationship results we must have a clear, identifiable mechanism for carrying it out throughout the year. By learning the guiding principles and practical techniques of creating great relationships we can unlearn what isn’t working and learn what does work. These great relationship principles then become the vehicle that will carry us to our destination.
To accomplish this we cannot continue the ineffective practice of thinking that just because we really want, wish or hope for something bad enough that we will get it. That is not enough for this type of work. We have to decide and then have a clear plan of how we are going to implement it in our relationships. That is the whole point of the Valentine’s All Year concept. It is designed to be not only a mindset but also a series of specific exercises to jump start you into having possibly one of the best years of your marriage. It is designed to help you transform your relationship into what you always wanted it to be but didn’t know-how. This is what real romance is all about. Not just a few days out of the year where we really focus on the relationship. But every day. All year.
Practical technique: Adopt the mindset and start the work.
I encourage you to adopt the Valentine’s All Year mindset as a means to really learn how to appreciate each other, how to deeply commit to each other, and how to communicate what is essential to each other. It takes a lot of willingness, attentiveness, time, thoughtfulness, mindfulness, and practice. In short, it takes a lot of work. The return on the investment, however, is huge and way worth it.
How can you apply the mindset? One way is to simply start by making a list of 52 things you can do for your spouse this year to express your love and commitment to him or her. If that sounds like a lot, just start with a list of ten. Once you start the ideas will continue to flow. Work on it until you have identified the list of 52. If you get stuck, call or email me and I’ll be happy to give you a few great ideas. Once you have made your list begin implementing one idea each week for the next year until next Valentine’s Day and just see how things have improved.
Practical techniques: Come and get ‘em!
