Living the 5 Love Languages {Acts of Service}

Welcome to the final day - day 5 of my new series -- we are talking about each of the 5 love languages as defined by Gary Chapman in his book, The Five Love Languages. If you haven't read it you definitely should, but please join us even if you haven't! You can find a quiz to find out your own love language on their website as well as join a challenge that starts this week to help you better show love to your spouse! Each day this week I will give you practical ideas to start living out the love languages to your own spouse. I hope you enjoy the series and if you have any more ideas or what has worked for your and your spouse please comment below, I'd love to hear from you! :)

{Practical Ideas}
  • Ask your spouse what their least favorite household task/chore is and start doing it for them
  • Pay careful attention to follow through when your spouse asks you to do something for them
  • Do things for them without being asked and expect nothing in return (even if they don't notice or say thank you)
  • Husbands, take the kids so she can have some time to herself
  • Give your spouse a massage or draw them a bath
  • Make a special dinner for the two of you at home
  • Deliver Starbucks to them while they are at work
  • Make them a special hot lunch and take it to them to trade for the pbj they packed that morning

{I am doing ANOTHER giveaway}
In order to celebrate the series, I am giving away a copy of The 5 Love Languages on Friday the 15th at 8pm MST. If you'd like to enter for a chance to win please visit my facebook page to learn how. :)
