Every practice in the library, in one list. Narrow it by how long you have, who it is written for, and where you are right now.
Recall out loud a moment you were proud of your spouse, and tell them so.
That thing you did last year, I still think about it. Bring the good memory into today.
Scan today for one thing your spouse did right, and say it before the day ends.
The mind drifts to what is wrong. Deliberately catch what is right, then name it.
Remember one reason you chose your spouse, and let it soften how you see them today.

Replace one eye-roll or cutting joke today with a word of respect.

Catch one comparison of your spouse to someone else today, and turn it to cherishing.
