I was listening to a podcast the other day + they were talking about how to build stronger relationships. 💪🏻 Can’t for the life of me remember who I was listening to so won’t paste the link here but the interviewee said he + his wife ask this question of each other regularly: “How can I love you today?” 💕 I thought this was such a cool question to ask your partner, so I’ve started doing…
Let’s face it, there are days where we don’t feel 100%. There are days where you might feel more like 40%.
