It's February!

February's challenge is to remember love. Again, this is NOT about the fact that our marriage sucks and we need to fix it. It's about improving it. There is always room for improvement. To start, I am reading the book The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman.

His basic point is that everyone feels loved in different ways. Some people need to hear words of affirmation to feel loved, some need quality time, some need to receive gifts, some need acts of service and some need physical touch. And of course, some are combos. It teaches you what you are and what to do/how to act towards your spouse who is rarely the same as you.


I've only read 4 chapters (the intro, the set up and the first chapter on words of affirmation). So far, so good. Makes a lot of sense. Scott might hate me when I ask him to read at least PART of this to figure out what he is so we can love each other better.

I think I will be a combo of quality time and words of affirmation and Scott will be physical touch. He loves when I rub his head or scratch his back. But he might also be words of affirmation because he loves when I compliment him on his cleaning (he is OCD in case any of you don't know).

I need to come up with a list of things I can check off each day.
