Day Twenty Nine: Favourite physical feature of his that you love?

His eyes 😍 I love how some days they're brown, and some days they're more hazel, some days the green is really prominent. They're stunning 😊

Also his beard. I love playing with it 😅

Day Eighteen: What has been the hardest obstacle to overcome ib your relationship?

I want to say money. In the beginning T wanted to pay for everything and I'm just not about that. Once or twice is nice, but I believe the responsibility of picking up the cheque should be shared. Now our money obstacle is saving for things. We both want our own house and be able to raise our family their; but I also value experiences very highly and want to be able to have family holidays and go on adventures and cruises and travel. It's very hard for us to find the right balance of having the stability of our home or to show Teddy (and future children) the world. 🌏

Not going to lie, it's still something we debate regularly. 😆😬

Day Two: How did you both meet?

We actually met in Kindergarten. 😊 We had the same teacher, and we had the same teacher several times throughout our schooling but we were never friends. We did share mutual friends though. It's funny, when we were sorting our room at the FILs house we found a book of T's that had "B is a turd-fungi" written in it- obviously my name was written instead of B though 😂

We reconnected twwo years ago while we were out with mutual friends, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Day Three: His age and birthday.

T is 22 and his birthday is May 4th.

Day Six: Were you friends prior to the relationship?

Does a week of chatting over FB count as friendship? 😂

I think I've already covered that we weren't friends before dating. 🤔

Day Five: The date you got together, and his proposal.

We started dating on the 29th of August 2015 after I invited him to my place for cuddly naps (literally just naps guys, I'd been working and was exhausted).

We didn't make the 'boyfriend/girlfriend' thing official until a week or so later when we were organising our trip to Canberra and I was asking my sister if we could stay overnight and wasn't sure whether to tell her if T was a friend orna boyfriend or what. Very unconventional, very us. 😄

How will Success feel?30 Day relationship Challenge

Steven Covey, the author of the book “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” lists one of the habits as, “Begin with the end in mind”. Effective people generally “Develop an outcome-oriented mindset in every activity they engage in”. 

What would success in this exercise feel like? Wright and Rain determined that Success would be defined as each of them making significant strides/improvement on their individual challenge.

This would manifest itself in forms of deeper communication, less extraneous stress and create a model to assist them in other phases of their relationship.

The pendulum of the exercise was wide, tough in the beginning, enlightening and surrendering during and hopefully, it would be a fortified emotional area at the conclusion of the exercise.

The exercise was creating the desired effect in their lives,the depth of daily communication had increased. They realized that strides they were both making in their respective areas, “less recovery time/pouting” (Wright)and being “less judgmental” (Rain) were immense but the advances they were making had yet to be tested in a serious family situation.

Loraine and Wainwright had started their 30 day relationship building challenge in late August. “Tell me the ONE thing that you want me to work on for the next 30 days that will help improve and deepen our relationship”.
