Marriage Tip • Making Valentine’s Day Meaningful


Our Usual Valentine’s Day


Ahh Valentine’s Day. Only two weeks away… what are you going to be getting for your spouse? My husband and I have a great routine. I buy us chocolates that neither of us really like. He buys me flowers that we put in a vase, and then they’re usually dead within a week. Then we go out to this “fancy” restaurant that charges $50 a plate and brings out half of the normal portion sizes. (I mean come on, seriously?) But we wouldn’t have enjoyed it anyways because I’m getting blisters from my heels and his tie is too tight. Do you feel my pain?

Well this year my husband said he has discovered the reason why we never really enjoy Valentine’s. We are so focused on making it “special” and doing what we think everyone else is doing. Mind. Blown. And it’s SO true! The chocolates, flowers, and small portions are not who Colin and I are. We haven’t been celebrating OUR love. We have been trying to match the world’s view of romantic.

This year, we are going to make our Valentine’s Day more meaningful. We are going to celebrate and spoil each other the way that we actually want to celebrate and spoil each other. Crazy thought right?


The 14 Day Challenge


In December we did a blog post about finding your spouse’s love language. “Love Language” is just the way that we each like to feel appreciated and shown love. The 5 languages are:

  1. WORDS OF AFFIRMATION
  2. ACTS OF SERVICE
  3. RECEIVING GIFTS
  4. QUALITY TIME
  5. PHYSICAL TOUCH

To read our Love Language post and take the language quiz click here.

My language is acts of service and Colin’s is physical touch. However, Words of Affirmation is a close second for both of us! So this month, to make Valentine’s Day a more meaningful experience we are going to strengthen our relationship and show we care by taking the 14 Day Challenge. And we want all of you to join us. Lets celebrate marriage!

From today through Valentines, take 30 seconds each day to let your partner know that you appreciate them. The Words of Affirmation language is all about finding a genuine compliment and letting your partner know how you feel.

 


Ideas of What to Say


Ideas of things you can say. If it is hard to think of some, even after pondering a while, you are probably taking your spouse for granted.

 

These

  1. look into their eyes and tell them face to face
  2. a handwritten letter sent to their work
  3. a quick phone call
  4. post it note on the fridge
  5. sweet text message
  6. email with a link to a song that says what you feel

*NOTE: The goal is to make your spouse feel loved and appreciated. These can’t just be compliments that could be used for everyone. Find genuine things that you are grateful for and let them know!
