The apple for the day is: get tickets to this! ha ha :) OR walk up behind your spouse and just hug or hold them for a minute. (make sure they aren't stressed or busy and wouldn't appreciate it) And since I didn't post one for yesterday, here is another. Express specific appreciation for something they do all the time. Example: for going to work, school, making the bed, fixing dinner, keeping the kids safe and clean, for their optimism. But be specific and genuine!
"By small and simple things, great {marriages} are brought to pass!
If an apple a day can keep the doctor away, then a kind deed a day will give you a healthier and happier marriage. Now, that IS a great thing!

Faith precedes the Miracle
"Faith is a principle of ACTION." We show we have faith in something by the way that we act. We show we have faith in our marriage, our spouse and ourselves, all by the way we act.
Richard C. Edgley in THIS talk said:
"I say, choose faith. Choose faith over doubt, choose faith over fear, choose faith over the unknown and the unseen, and choose faith over pessimism.
Yes, faith is a choice, and it must be sought after and developed. Thus, we are responsible for our own faith. We are also responsible for our lack of faith. The choice is yours."
There comes a time in every life that we have to choose to have faith in someone. Since this is a marriage blog I'll apply it that way.
We show our faith in our spouse by the things we say and do. We show our faith in our marriage by the things we say and do. We are responsible for these choices.
I was thinking about this the other day and the phrase, "faith precedes the miracle" came to my mind. Sometimes after a hard period in marriage the love you feel for each other and depths it reaches is really nothing short of a miracle. And in Ether it says, "dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith."
So instead of complaining about all the things we don't see, lets act on our faith in ourselves, our spouses and our marriages. Show that faith. Show what you hope for, by what you choose to do. Love is a choice. Faith is a choice.

Party on Baby!
Do me a favor?...and you and go on a date! Please!
A date is something with just the two of you. If you can have someone come over for a half hour and the two of you can go window shopping at the mall or visit a widow in your ward...it is just nice to do something together.
If you must stay at home which happens more than Zach and I would like then call it a date. Start at 8 and end at 10. Play a game of Sequence, Speed or slap jack. Pop some popcorn and try throwing it in each others mouths or have a contest to see who can throw up their own and catch the most. After you are sure the kids are sound a sleep bundle yourselves up and go for a short walk outside and enjoy the silence and the company.
do a date! have a party! happy friday to ya!

sometimes...
sometimes love is letting them love you.
When Zach and I were first married and I was expecting Ben, he sent me flowers while I was at work.
An older lady noticed my flowers and gave me a bit of advice through telling me a story.
She proceeded to tell me how when she and her husband were very first married and didn't have much money, her husband sent her some flowers and she got very mad at him. "We don't have that kind of money" she said. "don't waste it on flowers!" Sadly, she reported after 40+ years of marriage he had yet to send another bouquet.
Her getting upset did not serve him or her.
Her story taught me a quite a few things. I learned to keep my mouth shut and ask myself if I wanted him to never ever do that thing again. If the answer was no then I didn't say anything. If the answer was yes then I would take a deep breath and then talk to him about it. But honestly, I don't think the answer has ever been yes.
Here is an example. After we had our stillborn baby I wanted to be left alone quite often. One night I was typing a blog post for our family blog that was quite journal like. He saw me crying, came and sat by me and started rubbing my back. It made me mad and I wanted to turn to him and say "leave me alone!". Then this question came to my mind. "So, when you are crying you never want him to come offer comfort?" I kept my mouth shut and later that week I talked to him about needing to be left alone sometimes and not wanting to make him feel bad in the moment he is offering kindness. We decided on a code that he would just understand that I needed some time. No one had hurt feelings and both our needs were met. (his need was being able to follow his own intuition w/out being shot down by me and mine was to be able to communicate my needs w/out hurting his feelings)
In a marriage relationship, neither one is a parent to the other. It is a partnership. We all need to learn the art of working together and not telling each other what to do. Really it comes down to identifying the problem (not the person that is the problem) and working together to find a solution we can both be happy with.
At the risk of making this post still longer I will add one thing I read in Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families. He and his wife had a method if they couldn't agree on a solution they could both be happy with. They would then use the "on a scale from 1 - 10 how important is this to you" method. This might come in handy sometime. I know it has for me.
Sometimes all we can do is let them love us and then later when we are able to think clearly; we can appreciate them and what they were trying to do. Aw, love. It really is good.

what love looks like :)
Try to capture a moment today.
There isn't one? Make one!
I know I've said this before (and you don't have to tell me if you have tried it) If the day is just "off" somehow, kiss! I am serious! When you see each other for the first time that day, kiss! Have you already been together for "too long" and things are just off? Kiss! If you don't feel like you can just walk up and lay one on em' then ease into it. snuggle up next to them, kiss em' on the cheek, say you are sorry that things are "off" and ask if you can start over. Then kiss em' like they are leaving for a month...or just got back! Then take a picture. :) ha ha! This is probably one of my favorite apples! It is quite effective around here. :) What can I say? (oh gee, I'm stopping!)

Where love is.
"where love is, there God is also. Where love is, we want to be" (Primary Songbook)
Isn't that so true?!
This is a great quote from a great talk by Marvin J. Ashton.
"A friend of mine recently shared what he considered to be a choice learning experience. It was provided by his young son. Upon returning home from his day’s work, this father greeted his boy with a pat on the head and said, “Son, I want you to know I love you.”
The son responded with, “Oh Dad, I don’t want you to love me, I want you to play football with me.” Here was a boy conveying a much-needed message.
The world is filled with too many of us who are inclined to indicate our love with an announcement or declaration.
True love is a process. True love requires personal action."
How do you put your love into action?
The apple for the day is: Show your love for your spouse by remembering something they have going on and asking them about it. OR doing a favor they have asked you to do. (it's alright to point out that you did it, if you want to) Remember the Love Bank?
Have a great Monday!

THANK YOU. :)
Thank you for your feedback everyone! This is a funny blog to be the author of. I am not an expert, I am learning the same as you. I am glad to write and share because it helps me focus. Honestly though, I probably wouldn't write it if it were only for me. I am glad you read it and I am glad it is helpful. I do still appreciate your feedback and love hearing what you like. So, thanks!
Without further a due! The winner of the Free date night is:

Okay, I'm just going to say it. I LOVE when you post every day. It totally helps me think of what I can do each day. On the flip side, I'm sure it is totally time-consuming. But, in my selfish world, I would vote for every day (just a little snippet, doesn't have to be big). THANKS FOR THIS BLOG!! It has been a blessing in my life.
AS FOR THE REST OF YOU, please still go on a date this weekend! Aw, dates. Dates are a HUGE and healthy apple! They really feel like a breath of fresh air. It is to the Temple for my main man and me. That is truly refreshing. What will you be doing?

Your preference please?...giveaway!
I'm considering doing one post a week instead of posting everyday. Would that be better for you? Or do you like the daily posts? I know I like to keep up on some blogs but sometimes it just feels like a lot.
One post on, say a Monday with a topic and apples related to that topic?...and then a date idea?
What topics would you like to hear about? What is helpful?
what do you think? From your comments I will pick a winner for a FREE date night. (Yes, enter if you don't live in Utah and I'll get you something in your area.)
Thank you in advance for your feedback!!!

the little things
What if something your spouse did was an offering? They had thought, "I am going to do this "thing" to show them I love them" and then...you didn't say anything? No, "thank you", no, "wow, that was nice". Do you think it would be very easy to make an offering again?
I know for me, I am going to do a better job at saying thank you. A lot of times I do see what Zach does and I forget to mention it. Besides, when I feel grateful for him and the things he does, it is easier for me to pull my load.
I am the Queen of Notebooks. I have so many of them. I love to write. I am going to write about Zach and the things he does. Then i won't forget and I'll be able to tell him when I see him. Let's face it, I don't see him as much as I want to!
And, you bet I want him to keep doing them! He is the best!

come what may, and love it.
I hope you'll watch THIS little clip. What a great reminder Elder Wirthlin gave us to laugh and put our trust in the Lord.

the way they are.
The apple for the day: look at your spouse. look in their eyes. think about who they are. what they want to be. their heart. their efforts. admire them.
Love them the way they are, for who they are. They are a son or daughter of God.

ha, it's Friday again!
love. it.
Our date will be during the day tomorrow. Tonight we are going to do a puzzle and watch a movie we don't have to watch because we know it so well. We wouldn't want to go sledding on Friday the 13th now would we?!
Have a great weekend!? okay.
The apple: kiss. a lot. tell them they rock.

good times, good times.
it is time to plan that date! What will you do?
First. Get a sitter. If you can't, call a friend and swap. There are two nights in a weekend. Invite your spouse. Go. Have some good times.
Go sledding. Come back and have cocoa. You don't have to be gone long to come back refreshed.
What are your favorite winter dates?

stress, it's a killer sir
When things at work get nuts for Zach and he's visibly stressed I try and have the house as organized as possible when he get's home.
If it can't be, then I clean just our room. Aren't I nice? :)
What do you do?
I mean heck, I know you are busy too. Maybe what you do is go out to eat so you don't have to be home!
If I can't have the house clean because I haven't been home either, I just kiss him for a long time before he looks at the house and then he's so happy he won't see the mess! :) it works.

make time!
"Love is really spelled T.I.M.E." -President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
How do you make time for your spouse?
If Zach has worked late, I will wait to eat dinner with him. We can enjoy dinner by ourselves and visit. If the kids want his attention, we set the timer and say they can have him when it beeps but it is mom's turn.
My apple for the day is: let Zach have some time for himself when he gets home. Zach is a hot commodity at our house and he really doesn't get a break until the kids are in bed. (which is at least by 8, don't feel too bad for him. :)) After a long day at work I would be willing to bet he'd like 15 minutes to lay down before he gets jumped on.

yeehaw!
This is me being excited for another day of living! Is it rubbing off on you? :)
It is Monday. Lots to do. Glad I can do it.
My apple for today was: send a note of encouragement in Zach's lunch.
Now, this man knows what he wants to do and does it. This in no way means it is easy for him.
The quote for the day in his lunch was: "The world moves aside for the man that knows where he is going." -President David O. Mckay
...it moves aside for the women too! whoot!
when i encourage him, it really rubs off on me. interesting how that happens.

a special day
Today's the day we get ready for Sunday at our house. okay, at least we really try to. When we don't put it off until the end of the day then we do alright with it.
We have 11-2 church this year. My goal is not to slack off on Sunday responsibilities prep until Sunday. Then I can enjoy the Sabbath morning without the rush and stress. Hard to feel the Spirit when I feel rushed and stressed. This I found out last week. :)
What's your favorite time for church and why?
This might not look like it is an Apple but it really is. We are both a lot better off when the kids know where their shoes are. :)

my favorite day!
Friday's are my favorite day because I look forward to them. (maybe I should look forward to everyday and then they'd all be my favorite. now that's a thought.)
I LOVE. IT. when Zach is home! When I have my family around and we can do what we feel like or what we've planned...sometimes they're the same thing. :)
I'm glad I have a date to look forward to! I love that.
My apple for the day: get ready for my date. call my date and tell him he's hot. if he's busy I'll text him. go on my date. have a great time.

bright idea!
Remember when I used to post a date idea every week? yeah, that was fun. :)
I am assuming most of you set a resolution to date your spouse more. That's one of mine.
When Zach and I knew we had a babysitter planned for New Years Eve, we both kind of got giddy at the thought of just us. We were expected to be to a party and we were plotting how we could fit a movie, and the party and, etc into as little time as possible so as no one would suspect. We did end up going to the party and had a great time.
Yeah, it was then that we realized it had been a while since we'd been out of the house on a date. oops. So, we resolved to date more...outside of our house. :)
I so, love. Friday's. This week we are going to go see THIS movie. It looks good. Have you seen it? What are going to do?

the moments matter
"moments are the molecules of eternity" -Elder Neil A. Maxwell
how much time will i see zach today? he has a full day at work and then i have plans tonight.
that is often how it goes you know? life gets busy and we don't see each other very much.
to make my time with him count, my apple for today will be: kiss hello and goodbye. pray for and with him. (that was two, oh well. :))
how do you make your time count when the days are long and busy?

Check this out!

If you live in Northern Utah or anywhere close, you should totally come to THIS event!
I am a member of the Weber County Marriage Coalition and helped to plan this! Last year it rocked and I know, personally, that this year will too! I am facilitating for two the sessions. :) It is a great night out! It's fun and you come away with awesome ideas for strengthening your marriage! Check out the link!
decide.
If you decide to do something, the chances of you doing it are higher than if you didn't decide.
We learned this on Christmas. We visited both our families. We just didn't decide when we were going to leave my parents house to go to his. Yeah, we stayed at my parents longer than we should have but we never decided on a time to leave.
Thinking about this we had to say, "huh, it sure would have helped if we'd made a decision.".
Is there something you and your spouse want to do? have you mentioned it to each other and haven't decided how you're going to get it done? want to go on a great vacation? go to the Temple more? date night every week or month? family prayer and scripture study?
Answer these questions:
who is in charge of planning?
who gets the sitter?
who calls the family together?
what time?
what day?
when do we start?
Write it down! Put it on the calendar! Do it!

Deep breath.
"your future is as bright as your faith" -President Thomas S. Monson
Watching THIS clip is a wonderful reminder to me of what is most important.
I am grateful for a New Year, a new day to start again. Starting over with a fresh attitude is like taking a deep breath, looking around me and feeling grateful for the many opportunities I have to do good.
My apple for the day is: sit down with Zach, discuss his goals and how I can help him to reach them. Then talk about mine and how he can help me. I think we'll do a puzzle while we talk. We have one that's started down stairs. The longer it waits...the sooner we'll have missing pieces.
Having each other is so great!
Happy New Year!
Watching THIS clip is a wonderful reminder to me of what is most important.
I am grateful for a New Year, a new day to start again. Starting over with a fresh attitude is like taking a deep breath, looking around me and feeling grateful for the many opportunities I have to do good.
My apple for the day is: sit down with Zach, discuss his goals and how I can help him to reach them. Then talk about mine and how he can help me. I think we'll do a puzzle while we talk. We have one that's started down stairs. The longer it waits...the sooner we'll have missing pieces.
Having each other is so great!
Happy New Year!

Happy New YEAR!!!
"Be still, my soul: Thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as he has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last."
With so many things unknown, I am grateful for what I do know. I know the gospel of Jesus Christ can guide my life. I am really looking forward to a wonderful 2012! Happy New Year my friends!
