Don't quote me on this, because I'm not going to remember the exact details right.  A few weeks ago I read an article that has stuck in my head.  The premise is that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith have an agreement that they will do an annual plan for their marriage, and they also do an annual review, like a progress report.  At first I didn't like the feel of that.  It seemed way too business like for a romantic relationship.  However, after thinking about it, I believe it's genius.  First of all, Will Smith is known for being a law of attraction practitioner.  In many interviews he talks about his strong belief in focusing on the positive.  Secondly, they have one of the most successful relationships in Hollywood.  So, I suppose it's hard to argue with success. 

Looking at this through law of attraction glasses, making a plan, putting on paper what we want to have happen, is the master key to the kingdom.  When Will and Jada sit down and write up their plan for their marriage for the next year, they are activating law of attraction in it's most pure form.  Even more impressive is they are both putting their energy towards one common goal.  I honestly believe this amps up the vibration moving towards a goal exponentially.  They agree, they have vision, they have focus, and I believe they have a lot of energy.  Will and Jada are taking all those commodities and offering them up to the universe as fuel for their joint goals and aspirations for their marriage.  Magic.

Looking at it through the glasses of excellent communication skills, their willingness to do the review, provide feedback, grade each other is an amazing effective technique for getting their wants and needs met in their marriage.  They aren't making assumptions, they aren't guessing, they aren't hoping and wishing they get it right.  Mr. and Mrs. Smith are willing to stand up to the heat of loving, but honest feedback.  They are willing to take that feedback and move forward with the intention of making their great relationship even greater.  My money says it works.  My money says that these two grow closer, their relationship gets hotter, and their love gets deeper every day, week, month, year, and decade they spend together.  When you see pictures of them together, it shows, they've got that sumthin' sumthin' we all want a piece of.  The chemistry is obvious.  However, it's also obvious that what ever that "it" they has is, it goes deeper then chemistry.

So, my challenge to you is this.  Make a marriage, or relationship plan.  Take your mate, take the time, and get it on paper.  Then buckle your seat belt and ask for the feedback.  Ask your partner to provide you with information that will help you be a better partner.  Be prepared to do the same.  Remember, at the end of the year, there were three of you involved in your marriage plan, you, your mate, and the universe.  Expect miracles.
