"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!

NOTICE.


You know the song, "do as I'm doing". I think that more than we realize it, we really want our lover to love the way we love.
The Apple for the Day and for the weekend for that matter is: notice. Watch your spouse. How do they love you? What do they do?
THEN, love them in the same way. I did this apple this week and it has been fun and interesting. :)

Here are some examples of things I noticed. While I was out, Zach put up a few sticky notes around the house saying I was super sexy and awesome and fun and etc. :) He took the kids so I could have some time to myself. -he even loaded the dishwasher and then left. He is bold, he says straight forward things like, "what are you doing later?, wanta make out?" If I was sitting, he would come sit by me.
I also noticed when I came home later one evening and he was downstairs, I did something upstairs for a bit and when he came up he said, "I was wondering why you didn't come down." -this tells me what he'd like me to do. -come say hello when I get home. Another thing I noticed was that he would ask probing questions about if I liked something he did or the way he looked. -meaning I should say more of what I'm thinking and compliment him more.

So because of what I noticed this week I tried to do some of these same types of things in return. It was fun to see his response because I don't normally love the way he loves. :) So, we were chatting over text about this nasty lunch I sent him that day -that we both ate. (because we were on a detox diet) Here is the text: "I choked it down too. :) I love you. Mind if you and I make love tonight?"
There was no beating around the bush, it was out of the blue and he loved it. It is funny to see the way they respond to their own language of loving.
It is love month. Try loving the way they love. Have a great weekend!
