Sharing A Written Compliment | Easter / Lent Prep | Cleaning Up Discussion and Argument Styles |
Writing a compliment is about building a culture of appreciation in your relationship. In the transition to daily life together, it’s easy to let the little things go unsaid. Here are a few ways to write a compliment that feels sincere and grounded.
Focus on Character over Action
While it’s great to say thank you for actions a deeper compliment focuses on the trait behind the action.
The Action: "Thanks for handling the grocery shopping today."
The Character Compliment: "It makes me feel supported when you help manage our home."
Compliments that reinforce your partnership are powerful. Share how their presence changes your day.
Use Different Delivery Methods
Since you likely see each other every day, the medium can change the message's impact:
| Method | Best For... | |
| The Sticky Note | DIY gesture, a bit of romance | |
| The Text Message | unscheduled connection | |
| The Long-Form Letter | Anniversaries or special information or dates |
Note: The most effective compliment bridges the gap between who they were when you met and who they are now that you are married.
