What are some of your favorite date night plans?
I’ll get us started …
I love all sorts of date nights with my sweet hubs, and we’re always looking for something new and fun to do. At the same time, there’s nothing quite like a night in together. While I love all of our dates, two are jumping out at me as I’m writing this. The first is going to an amusement park together. Where we live we have Universal Park, Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, and Six Flags Magic Mountain all close by, so we’ve got options. I love the fun, youthful atmosphere of an amusement park. Screaming and holding on tightly to your sweetie as you loop around on a roller coaster. Having your man try to win you some cheesy and completely unnecessary prize at a rigged and nearly impossible game. Sharing some cotton candy and an extra-large soda. What’s not to love?
On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, I absolutely love a night in shnuggled up with my husband under a cozy blanket with the fireplace flickering its warm glow about the room and a glass of wine. Oh and a good movie playing too. It’s romantic, relaxing, and perfectly idyllic.
Alright, alright … enough of me. I want to hear some of your fun, cute, creative ideas!
Okay, it’s your turn!

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?
I’ll get us started …
I feel like there is so much to be thankful for that it’s tough to list it all out. God has blessed me with so much to be thankful for that it overwhelms me at times. It’s like that feeling you get when you just love someone so much you think your heart might burst. That’s how my spirit feels with gratitude toward God; He is faithful, generous, and constant. From my incredible husband to our amazing families; our health, home, and all needs met; the warm sun, twinkling stars, and big blue sky; feeling there’s a purpose and plan for my life.
Every day we are surrounded by so much to be thankful for, and yet, we’re often too busy to notice. Or we’re so fixated on what we don’t have that we miss out on what we do have. It’s a challenge, but I try really hard to stop and count my blessings because it’s pretty amazing how many there really are.
Okay, it’s your turn!

Do you have any tricks to “treating” your spouse or significant other? Does your spouse or significant other have any tricks to treating you?
I’ll get us started …
To be very honest with you, I feel like my husband, Steve, is the one with all of the tricks up his sleeve to treat me! He is super creative and comes up with some great ideas of things to make me feel loved, appreciated, and special. Some of his tricks include foot massages with lotion at the end of a long day for me, leaving me postcards from places we’ve been to with a love note on them to find when I get up in the morning, bringing home unexpected flowers, and planning fun date nights. He always thinks outside of the box and always makes me feel like he puts thought into keeping things fresh, fun, and romantic.
For me, I love to leave post-it notes with words of affirmation in random places he will find like inside his wallet, on his shoe, on the front door, or in his car. When he gets home from work each night, I try to always drop everything and run to greet him with a big hug and kiss. Most nights I make sure that I have dinner made when he walks through the door. A lot of the things I do are rather simple and understated, but I believe they make a big difference in maintaining our marriage.
Okay, it’s your turn!

What is one thing your spouse did this week to make you feel loved?
I’ll get us started …
I had a very long day just trying to get all of my work done while maintaining our home. I take pride in giving care and attention to both our home and my career, but sometimes it’s a lot to balance, so I find myself extra tuckered out at times. My husband, Steve, took notice of my hard work and ensuing fatigue, and had me sit back and relax while he rubbed my feet with lotion. He made sure to let me know how much he appreciates how hard I work too. It was like a little escape to Cloud 9; it built me up physically and emotionally.
Okay, it’s your turn!

What is one thing you did this week to show your spouse that you love him/her?
I’ll get us started …
Like most couples, Steve and I have divided up the household responsibilities. We each have things that we take care of. One of Steve’s chores is to gather up and take down the trash when it’s full. This week I decided to give him a little break by gathering it all up and taking it down for him. It wasn’t anything major, but just something to let him know that I appreciate what he does and wanted to help out this week.
Okay, it’s your turn!

In thinking about the 4th of July, what really brings sparks to your relationship? Why?
I’ll get us started …
The major thing that really helps sparks to fly in Steve’s and my relationship is quality time together. When we take time to do things together, sit and talk, make memories, or snuggle up under a blanket holding one another, it just helps cultivate that friendship and intimacy that we need in our marriage. It deepens the love we have for each other, which ultimately keeps that flame burning bright.
Another notable “spark-starter” for us is romance. We all want to be pursued, even and especially after we get married, by our spouse. So, candles, dinner dates, and thoughtful gestures are wonderful ways to make sparks fly. Get creative, and enjoy the freedom of your marriage! Romancing your spouse is crucial, special, and just fun!
Okay, it’s your turn!

Share your thoughts, feelings, and stories as well as respond to others regarding these questions:
What topics/issues come up most frequently in your marriage or relationship?
I’ll get us started …
A topic that comes up quite frequently with Steve and me is the future. What goals do we have? What timeline are we looking at for everything we want to do and accomplish? Where do we ultimately see ourselves? When do we buy this or do that? Those types of questions float around us like a cloud. I think many young couples especially deal with these questions and the desire to have a game plan for the future.
It can be so unsettling sorting out some of life’s big decisions as a couple. Oftentimes it’s frustrating, and you are left feeling as though you are in a constant state of limbo. You want to figure it all out for tomorrow without forgetting to live today. It’s a tough balance and something that Steve and I often find ourselves milling over.
Okay, it’s your turn!\

What are some of your favorite ways to express your love and appreciation to your spouse or significant other?
I’ll get us started …
I know that my husband loves being affirmed, so I try to find different ways to do just that. Probably the most frequent way I do so is by simply verbally expressing how much I love him and how much he means to me. When he does things for me whether big, small, ordinary, or extraordinary, I make sure to thank him and let him know how much it means to me.
The other way I like to most often affirm my husband is through notes. Whether it’s a little post-it note on the front door in the morning on his way to work or a romantic card, I feel like this is a simple and tangible way to dote on him.
I find that the smallest of expressions of love and appreciation can make a huge impact on your spouse and marriage. It just takes a little time and thought, but it’s well worth it to fill up your spouse’s love tank and put a smile on his/her face.
Okay, it’s your turn!
