I teach a Bible study on Wednesday nights called Motherwise: Wisdom for Mothers. Chapters 4 and 5 are about our relationships with our husbands. We had guest speakers come in and share with us how they keep the romance alive in their marriage as well as how they keep their marriage going and keeping God at the center of it.

When we were finished they shared with us 22 things you can do to show your husband you love them....and these can also be done by hubby for their wives. I thought I would share them with ya'll

1. Call to see if you can pick up anything on the way home from work.

2. Send a dozen roses: 11 red roses and 1 white rose. The note says "In every bunch there's one who stands out--and you are that one.

3. Float a love note in a bottle in the bathtub.

4. Call him at work and say: "Hello handsome! Are you free tonight?"

5. Get tulips and attach this note: "I've got two-lips waiting for you!"

6. Hire a masseuse to give your partner a professional massage at home.

7. On cold mornings warm up her/his car.

8. Bring flowers home for no reason (well, the reason is love)>

9. Send a beautiful romantic greeting card.

10. Go to a second honeymoon.

11. Give sunflowers- plus Stevie Wonder's song "You are the sunshine ofmy life."

12. Bring home one flower a day for one solid month.

13. Collect romantic and inspirational quotes. Write them in a journal and give it to your partner as a gift.

14. Trace "I love you " on a stick of butter or margarine.

15. Have a pillow fight.

16. Always have tapes of romantic music in your car.

17. When window shopping, secretly note what your partner likes then return later to pick up that something special.

18. Put a piece of jewelry in her jewelry box and wait for her to notice it.

19. Cover the room with helium balloons

20. Write notes on Post-It notes and stick them around the house.

21. Toss a coin in a fountain and make a wish together.

22. For parents only: spend a whole afternoon taking photgraphs of your family.

I am sure there are lots and lots of other ways to share and show our loves for your partners. If you have some others that are what you use please don't hesitate to leave me a comment on what they are and I will add them to the list.

May God bless your day in an extraordinary way today!
