Thought for the Day 2/14/2012

Love Guides

--Say it, whisper it, or sing it, but just make sure

  you say it often to your spouse - I Love You!

--Keep a "thank-you" jar.  Throughout the year jot

  down reasons why you are thankful for your spouse
  and then read them aloud on your anniversary.

--Remember that your marriage vows were made before God.

--Compliment the love of your life often, in private

  and in public.

--Give big bear hugs.

--Start a devotional time just for the two of you.

--Pray for each other - and with each other.

--Spend the first 10 minutes upon arrival home

each day visiting with your spouse - alone.

--Slip a love note into a lunch sack, or a briefcase.

--Go through your wedding album or watch your wedding video together.  (Try not to think about how skinny  you used to be!  Have a laugh over the hairstyles and clothes, but don't grieve over the lost hair!)

--Remind each other of the reasons you fell in love.

--Make sure you look your best when you're out with your spouse.  (This means you guys, too!)

--Attend church and Sunday school together.

--Share household responsibilities.  (Real men do housework, ya know!)

--Speak kindly to (and of) your spouse - always, no matter what.

--Keep a photo of your spouse at work.

--Laugh at all your spouse's jokes even if you've heard them a hundred times before or if he/she blows the punch line.

--Smile when your beloved walks into the room.

--Hold on to each other when the going gets rough.

--Be the first to say "I'm sorry" after an argument no matter who was right.  Don't go to bed angry with each other.

--Be the best examples to your children of what a wife/mother and husband/father should be.
