Patti checked National Today Holidays and saw several interesting Holidays.
The below Holiday is one of our No Brainers so we will go with it!!
NATIONAL COUPLES DAY..
National Couples Day arrives every August the 18th.
Couples Day is dedicated to honoring the unique connection between partners. It’s a chance to pause, appreciate, and rekindle the romance with your significant other. Plan a memorable date, exchange heartfelt gifts, or simply enjoy quality time together to strengthen your bond.
This sounds very good to us BUT, Patti and I have no real plans to do anything special or out of our ordinary routine today.
You have to realize that our ordinary daily routine includes a lot of things we DO together every day!!
The website gave absolutely no information about the below image.
So I went on-line and found the below..

Patti and I do not argue. It takes two to argue. Do we disagree with one another? Yes from time to time..
Pause when agitated!!
Nor one word about the below image as well.
So again off I went on-line and found the below..
The “5-to-1 ratio” is a relationship concept discovered by researcher John Gottman. It means that for every one negative interaction during an argument or conflict, a happy and stable couple has at least five positive interactions.
