Brick 4: Be Positive
Let’s face it—real life gets messy.
The sink overflows.
The laundry sits (again).
You forget the milk for the third time this week.
It’s easy to sigh, grumble, or roll your eyes in these moments. Isn’t it?
But what if you flipped the script?
What if you looked at your honey and thought:
We’re a team.
We’ve got this.
Even when it’s soggy, spilled, or slightly burnt.
Positivity is more than pretending things are perfect.
It’s the decision to face the imperfect—together—with hope,
humor,
and a sprinkle of grace.
Practice with me:
“No worries, honey! We can get through anything.”
“It’s just milk. We’ll live.”
“At least the floor got a good rinse!”
These little moments?
They’re opportunities to choose joy over judgment.
To choose grace instead of jumping to a wrong conclusion.
To offer patience, even when you’re tempted to huff and puff.
Think of positivity as the mortar between your relationship’s bricks. It is the glue that holds everything in place.
It says:
“You’re not alone in this – even if the roof leaks.”
So next time the unexpected happens:
Take a deep breath.
Smile if you can.
And say something kind.
You’ve got this…
