Today’s insight comes from Happy Together by Suzann and James Pawelski.
The Pawelskis remind us: “We believe in the importance of working on our relationships just like we work on our bodies at the gym.”
Great relationships don’t happen by accident—they’re built through daily effort.
Here’s how to build love that lasts:
First, treat love as a practice. They write: “What can I do today to support my partner’s growth?”
Next, commit to daily effort. They share: “Once we begin to see the fruits of our labor, the hard work doesn’t seem so hard.”
And finally, focus on virtue. Love, gratitude, zest, hope, and curiosity are strengths that build thriving relationships.
So what’s one thing you can do today to strengthen a relationship in your life?
