I trust everyone found the time to write their spouse a letter yesterday? And if you're a part of an MLS couple, I hope that you mailed or emailed that letter to your spouse yesterday! I think it's safe to say that we all want to hear loving words from our spouses - we all want to hear how they feel about us, where we stand, and that we are loved. I'm sure that with Valentine's Day so rapidly approaching, anyone with a tv or the internet has seen the new Hallmark commercial. If not, I've included it below:
They have one thing right: everyone has something they want to hear. But in reality, we don't just want to hear it. We want to know it and we want to feel it. We're not big Valentine's Day supporters over here - I should get that out of the way. What we are big on is showing your love in some way on a daily basis. It is not only possible, but it makes for better marriages.
Today's challenge will be physical. It's up to you to decide what your spouse would prefer and it is preferable that you not ask them before initiating - but if you must, feel free. When you or your spouse or both get(s) home (I can't possibly know how you all arrive home lol), give him or her a massage. It can be foot, back, shoulder, head, etc. The point is not to ask them if they would like one because most will say no because they don't want to inconvenience you or for you to go out of your way, or you're probably tired yourself and blah blah blah - so many reasons for you not to do it. Just take the initiative and do it. There's no time limit, but I am recommending at least five minutes. And if you really want to go all out, light a candle and/or break out the lotion or oil. If you or your spouse's love language is physical touch, this should make for an enjoyable experience for both of you!
