30 Day Relationship Challenge- 30 Days of Loving and Appreciating One Another
If you are... married, dating, or have a special somebody, you just might want to challenge yourself to this fun relationship challenge!! If you're single, you might as well quit reading now and go get on Match.com! This doesn't have to be for struggling couples. Even for those who feel happy and like they are doing great- it is always a good idea to think of ways to be kind to one another, and have little daily reminders. Especially when you have been together for a while, you may start getting used to the nice things and start to take each other for granted every once in a while. So- do this little challenge- but don't tell them you're doing it. If you're anything like me, some of these are going to feel cheesy and uncomfortable. Honestly I felt really uncomfortable just writing this and thinking about doing some of these things! It is okay to be overly nice for no reason and to make a habit out of it- even if it does get you out of your comfort zone. Whose with me?!
