Five Love Languages

YM's,

I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed yesterday. You guys did a fantastic job coming up with creative ways to show love through our love languages. I wanted to remind you of some the things you came up with for each of the languages:

Quality Time
Saturday morning couch time, running errands together, weekend trip, dine together, date night, do one of their hobbies with them, talk about their day without trying to "fix things"

Physical Touch
Make the time, Hugs & kisses often, massage, give ourselves, communication

Acts of Service
Cook a meal, Do the dishes, Clean up, Take care of the car, Run errands for them, Laundry, Help out with whatever they are doing, cut the grass, watch the kids, express gratitude, handle finances - all with a good attitude

Receiving Gifts
Quality vs. quantity, doesn't matter what the gift is...it is the thought that counts, occasion is unimportant, gift ideas: spa packages, cook dinner, books, piece of their favorite chocolate

Words of Affirmation
Notes of praise, recognise them in public, affirming them for their character, encouragement, spur them on to try new things, ask them what you can do for them, be sincere in what you do, emails, link your love language to theirs

Remember, pick a day this week and love on your spouse using their love language! See if they notice it! Check out the site below to find additional ways to love on your spouse this week!
