How do you order when going out for dinner?  How do you introduce your special someone to new people?  When your special someone comes up in conversation with others how do you refer to him/her?  These are all situations where you have the opportunity to compliment the one you love.

Here are some examples:

Waitress:  May I take  your order?
Reply: I’ll have …. and my beautiful/handsome, wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/partner will have…..

You:  Hi ”Fred” I’d like to introduce you to the man/woman that makes me smile each day…

Work Colleague:  How’s ………..
You:  He/She is fantastic – you know, meeting him/her was the best thing that ever happened to me

This WILL seem very corny at first, but after a while it will come naturally.  Both you and your special someone will love the special glow giving and receiving compliments in this way gives.

A lovely lady I spoke with last week put this very well.  She said to me that she and her husband decided that there were enough people in life keen to point out your flaws and mistakes, and not enough to compliment and praise.  With this in mind they each make a conscious effort in their relationship to compliment and praise, rather than criticize and complain.  Judging by her big smile when speaking to me of her relationship I think it’s working!

Wishing you love, romance and compliments! in abundance
