Blake R. Templeton says criticism kills playfulness and silence kills appreciation. His habit: each partner names three things they admire about the other every day. He claims this shifts how you see your partner and transforms the marriage.
Now we forget this when you're burning the candle at both ends. A woman's playfulness dies when appreciation from you is silent. Like, your criticism amplifies flaws. So what you got to realize is gratitude amplifies beauty. So instead of pointing out what's wrong, stop that. Complete what I call a daily appreciation exercise. Always, every day, name 3 things you admire about her. Change the way you think, you'll change the way you feel. And that's actually how you want to feel Anyway.
