Today, I tried something a bit different, and I want to share my little adventure with you all. It’s about this thing called “bid of love.” I stumbled upon it while I was browsing some relationship advice stuff online. Basically, it’s about those small moments, those little gestures or words, that we use to connect with our loved ones.
So, I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” I started my day by paying more attention to my partner. I noticed how they sipped their coffee while reading the news, a little habit I hadn’t really registered before. Instead of just walking past, I stopped and asked about the article they were reading. It was a simple question, but it sparked a nice little conversation. We ended up chatting for a good ten minutes, just about everyday stuff, nothing fancy.
Later in the day, I made an effort to show my appreciation. Usually, I just say a quick “thanks” for dinner, but tonight, I really looked at my partner and said how much I enjoyed the meal. I detailed what I liked about it. It felt a bit awkward at first, being all descriptive and stuff, but their smile made it worth it.
- I tried to be more present throughout the day.
- I listened more actively when we talked.
- I offered to help with chores without being asked.
The Results
Honestly, it was pretty amazing. These small “bids” really did seem to make a difference. We felt more connected, more in tune with each other. It’s like we were speaking the same language, even when we weren’t saying much. And the best part? It wasn’t hard at all. It was just about being a bit more mindful, a bit more attentive.
I’m definitely going to keep practicing these bids of love. It’s not about grand gestures or expensive gifts. It’s the little things, the everyday moments, that really count. It’s about showing your partner that you see them, that you hear them, and that you care.
So, if you’re looking for a way to strengthen your relationship, why not give it a try? You might be surprised at how much of a difference it can make. Just remember, when you feel like you’re done, exhausted, and can’t go any further, that’s actually just 40% of what you can do. Keep at it, and you’ll see the magic happen.
