The magic words for a great relationship are:
“I love you just the way you are”
It reminds me of a story I read somewhere many years ago.
A wife was taking some kind of self-improvement class with other women.
The teacher gave each woman an assignment to bring home.
They were to ask their partners an honest question: Could you tell me 5 things that you would like me to improve?
One of the husbands thought about it for a couple of days and when it was time to give the answer to his wife,
He said: “I couldn’t find a single thing that I’d like you to improve, I love you just the way you are”
These were the magic words…
And these came with the magic words too.
This was a smart move from the husband. If the wife had anything to improve, I’m almost sure she was already aware of it.
I suspect that after a gesture like this one from her husband, she even made a little extra effort.
What do you think?
