I read a good article somewhere about the importance of spouses showing each other appreciation. For a relationship to be strong, a couple needs to keep giving and know what to give. That includes showing appreciation to each other, which is also a form of giving.
In general, if there is something that one spouse needs or something is bothering them, a couple should discuss it with each other, and then work something out and implement it. I sometimes have a difficult time with expressing myself to others. But I find that it is reaslly for the best that I tell them nicely what’s on my mind, instead of holding it and later exploding, lol 🙂

He asked him what was the most important thing his chosson Rebbe taught him. He replied “the three A’s..Attention, Affection and Appreciation”.

May 19, 2011 5:12 pm at 5:12 pm #768001adorableParticipanti was thinking about this thought last night- wondering if any of you can help me.
When we go to someone’s house for a meal on Shabbos we thank them. When we go to them for a whole shabbos we thank them even more and might even buy them a gift. In that case, how many meals did my parents serve me? How much do I owe them for that? And that is besides the laundry, cleaning, and emotional strength that they give me. Of course its their job to raise me and Hashem gave each parent the child that they can deal with but that doesnt mean i dont owe them. How can I repay them?

By accepting the love they give and reciprocating. By never missing an opportunity to say “I love you”. By being patient with them and learning to understand them as they try to understand you. By understanding that relationships keep growing as you do and that you will always be their baby till 120 i”h.
