Practical Suggestions From The Five Love Languages - 2

 

By Gary Chapman

 

Words of Appreciation

 

Buy a pack of sticky notes. Leave at least one encouraging note a day where your loved one will notice. Comment on something you appreciate about them, something they did, or in relation to who they are. The more specific the message the better.

 

Acts of Service

 

Next time you notice your loved one doing a particular chore or task, simply ask them what can you do to help. Even if they say no or not right now, the offer alone will mean the world.   

 

Receiving Gifts

 

Think of the most meaningful songs shared between you and your loved one. Search for the music videos of these songs and then add them to a public playlist you create on your YouTube account. Send an email or card containing the link inviting them to watch. Let them know you were thinking about them. The thoughtfulness - not dollar amount - will make this gift super special. 

 

Quality Time

 

Is there a local art museum in your city or town? If so, plan a visit with your loved one. Ask questions about how they feel and what they notice about the various works of art. Let their answers guide your conversation.

 

Physical Touch

 

Ladies, if your husband's love language is Physical Touch, even small touches stir his love tank. Pick up a game of TwisterŽ and stash it away where he won't find it. Then when you are alone and want to fire up the romance, challenge your husband to a winner "takes all" championship game or maybe a best of three. Add a little playfulness with your attire, a scent that drives him wild, and an atmosphere that doesn't distract. Don't forget to boast about how you are going to win!

                       
Announcement
After 3.5 years I have decided to stop publishing these Marriage Tips as of March 31.  
 
It has truly been a labor of love and the amount of information I have read and shared has been gigantic. But it's time for me to move on to other things and other ways to serve. 
 
I sincerely thank you faithful subscribers who have stayed with me all this time. 
 
After doing my taxes, it turned out that I was almost losing money with the costs of this service and website. So I had to decide if I still wanted to keep fitting it into my life each week. 
 
I feel God has other plans for me. 
 
Do check out my blog: 101 Proofs for God which is still going. 
 
And may God richly bless all you do.
