7:1 = A Happy Couple
The secret to a happy marriage is sincere, loving affirmations according to John Izzo PhD, author of The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die. He sites a study that claims that couples who express seven positive affirmations for every one negative criticism of each other have longer lasting marriages than those who do not.
Although we've never kept count, my husband and I agree with Dr. Izzo's point. That's why we created our two couples journals, The Book of Us and What I Love About You. They are different in style and focus, but share a common goal of helping couples focus on the very best of their relationships. Giving your partner love and gratitude is a gift to the relationship and to yourself.

Love Language #1: Words of Affirmation
According to Gary Chapman, author of The Five Languages of Love, Love Language #1 is "Words of Affirmation...best expressed as simple, straightforward statements of affirmation." He writes that "the need to feel loved by one's spouse is at the heart of all marital desires." When one person invests energy in filling his or her partner's emotional love tank, the other person naturally reciprocates and this sets the course for a long-lasting, loving relationship.
Singing each other's praises feels indescribably good. That's what our two couples journals are all about: The Book of Us: A Journal of Your Love Story in 150 Questions and What I Love About You. The writing prompts and fill-in-the-blank format of both of these keepsake journals help you find the words to affirm your partner in a way that can be read over and over.
