The Science of Love: How 5 Small Actions Can Have a Big Impact
The app formerly known as Twitter has been a strange place for recent marriage and relationship content.
It is interesting to see what people think as they scroll the internet.
On September 15, user Brittany Martinez shared a touching post for her audience giving marriage advice on her wedding day.
Some of her words were:
Brittany Martinez on X: "Marry someone you’re obsessed with… emotionally, physically, and sexually. Our 6-year wedding anniversary was on Saturday. He asked me to pack a bag and be ready by 3pm. A black car pulled up to our valet. My husband was carrying a leather duffel bag, some gift bags,… https://t.co/uZkSpzv9KK" / X (twitter.com)
It was so sweet, and I was blushing from the cuteness of it all.
And then the haters came, obviously something nice had to draw people who are bitter.
My takeaway from this is to ignore the hate. There is a better message here.
She chose to honor her husband and her relationship on their day.
This is just 1 small act of kindness that most likely keeps her husband doing the things she loves and keeps her doing what she does to sustain them.
That is Iconic and showing us their love is too.

How 5 Small Actions Can Have a Big Impact
What can we do in smaller ways to make a huge impact on those we love?
Dr Gary Chapman already answer this for us in his book the 5 love languages.
These 5 can be done in small ways to show that you care about your spouse and done daily.
Words of Affirmation: This can be kind words you speak to your loved one, bet names only you call them, using specifically loving language when you speak to them. Love is an action and saying things tells what is in your heart to the one that matters most.
Acts of Service: opening doors, cooking dinner, washing their hair, or more all acts of service to show you care. You can do small things without expecting anything in return.
Receiving Gifts: Bringing home flowers, grabbing dinner, a new anniversary bracelet, and more
People who enjoy receiving gifts as part of their primary love language do not necessarily expect large or expensive presents; it's more the effort and thoughtfulness behind the gift that count.
It is more about the actions and the thoughts not how much you spend.
Quality Time: Turning off the phone, watching their favorite show on the couch, looking at them when they are talking about their day. You want them to feel as if you make time for them that is memorable and important.
Physical Touch: it doesn’t have to be intercourse but just hand holding, coddling, kisses on the forehead. The individual who loves shoulder rubs, hand massages or daily hug just wants to be in your presences and near you.
Summary
We need more displays of love not less.
Brittany’s post is a prime example of what we need, to show that marriage can be done, can be exciting and can be healthy.
Marriage is a life hack when done right with the right person.
It is a 24/7 lifestyle and meant to last.
Doing the work, showing you care in impactful ways, that is being Iconic.
