Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!! Today we are talking about V for Valentine’s. I’m sharing five things to keep in mind to strengthen your military marriage. Our goal here at Hearts & Stripes podcast is to continue to provide resources and tools to keep your relationship thriving. Keep in mind, it’s never too late to start getting intentional about your marriage. Here are five Vs for Valentine’s.
Validate : Take the time to listen and validate your spouse. A great technique to use to accomplish this is active listening. Steps to active listening include listening, empathize, repeat what is shared, normalize their feelings with understanding and bonuses are being able to add body language, eye contact & touch.
Vacation : Plan opportunities to getaway. This may look like an actual trip, staycation or even a mental getaway. It’s not about the dollar amount, but rather valuing the time spent together.
Vow : Valentine's Day is known as a day of love. Nothing says I love you like commitment and covenant. Reflecting and reminding one another of the vows that you have taken is a beautiful way to connect/reconnect or hit the reset button on your relationship.
Value : Get intentional about showing your spouse that you value them. A great way to do this is by using their love language. Saying and showing your partner that they are valued is a great way to stay #milmarriagestrong
Victory : When you win, I win & we win! It’s no surprise that we are all about celebration here at Hearts & Stripes. Acknowledging the wins in your relationship is a tip that we absolutely love sharing. It shifts your focus as a couple to positivity and progress, which can help keep the momentum going.
