His and Hers XXI
His and Hers is a weekly discussion of a question or topic relating to marriage. On Friday, my wife and I each write our thoughts on the week's topic. I invite other bloggers to do the same with their spouses as an exercise in celebrating marriage. This week's question is:
What are ten small, specific, positive things your spouse can do for you that would make you feel loved and appreciated?
NOTE: These things must be positive and not something like, "Take your nose out of the paper and pay attention to me for once." There is a follow-up assignment with this question: Read the things your spouse has written and do at least one of them every day.
Mrs. Happy's response
- make my lunch and draw a picture on the bag
- have a picnic at the park with me
- play tennis with me
- dance with me to slow music
- make my coffee in the morning
- compliment me about something I do
- take me out to dinner after a difficult day
- leave me a sweet message at work
- sing me a song
- write me a letter and/or make me a card
Curt's response
- wash the dishes (that's usually my job)
- write a blog post
- watch a science fiction movie with me
- call me at work just to say, "I love you."
- turn off the lights and just listen to music with me
- kiss me ten times as soon as we wake up in the morning, and let me do the same
- put a loving note in my lunch
- bake a batch of those amazing oatmeal-coconut-chocolate chip cookies
- set aside some time when I can serenade you with my ukulele
- walk with me to the store to get a snack
