Hey guys! It's Jessie Marie, here with another amazing find. So, before we get to this little gem I got from Amazon I just want to briefly mention that I am not usually a book person. I do not enjoy reading whatsoever. BUT, I do enjoy doing work books, journals, self help books, etc..
I'm a mom of 4. I survived a toxic and abusive marriage and relationship of over 13 years of my life. I have been through every single up and down that you could possibly be in. I have gotten several of these books before but they just never got any use out of them. (We won't get into all that) When I received this book I instantly thought it looked like an amazing and truly transformative tool for couples.
It's called, One Question A Day To Stay Close and Curious: A Couple's Journal for a Lifetime of Love ❤️
I was a little bummed that I had this amazing work book sitting in front of me but nothing to really do with it. I have recently started seeing an ex boyfriend again and friend of over 20 years. Our relationship this time around is still new and we both have some of our own personal "crap" to work on.. I thought to myself, "This book would be so great for us to communicate more, and in a healthier way than we sometimes express. I wonder what he would even say if I asked him to do it?" Would he think it was a joke? Would he just say sure to appease me, or would he say yes and just not really do it?"
Did I ask him??
The answer is, YES!
We have been doing this book whenever possible. Sometimes we're doing it right next to each other, in the moment. Other times I may do two questions and give him the book to answer his side when he can.
My suggestions on doing this book-
This is supposed to be helpful and healing. YES, you are going to cry; you're being asked deep and personal questions- some you may not want to face. But, my followers; You will also laugh, smile and more. THAT is the beauty of this book. If you truly want to mend, build, heal, process and work on yourself and your relationship, you have to put in the work. That doesn't mean the book has to BE work. Talk to your partner and agree on how you will complete this book, the timing shouldn't be rushed or forced but also, gently remind your partner that they need to do their question if they haven't after a couple days. The key is consistency. You have to both want to do this book, and actually put the effort in to achieve any real or positive growth. This isn't a fix all. It is a tool, and a simple yet truly life changing activity for you and your loved one.
We are only on question 4 but already have expressed so much to one another. We have actually had to use extra paper to finish at one question. We both cried, smiled, and feel that something like this can help any couple! You don't have to be struggling in your relationship. This book is for you to stay close on a deeper level.
Is it that good?
