I am 7 days into the Love Note a Day – 30 Day Marriage Challenge and I am having fun with it! Here is a glimpse at what the week has looked like.
My husband said that he felt bad that he was getting all of the love notes, so he felt inspired to leave one for me on the bathroom mirror.
I have to be honest. I definitely have a hard time remembering the daily text or note. I have put a reminder in my phone that tells me everyday to Plant The Seed.
I feel bad that I need a reminder for that.
I have always been the kind of girl that said I love you a lot, but I have come to realize that saying I love you can sometimes be a reflex. Words that I often say out of habit and there may not be an intentional thought or feeling behind it.
Don’t get me wrong, having that reflex is important. I am proud that saying the words come easy to me. Everyone important in my life knows that I love them and hear it a lot.
But, there is something different about making an intentional effort to tell your spouse why you love them.
Saying I love you is great, but saying something like, I love you because you are an amazing husband or I love you because you are so generous can be even better.
There is true thought behind these words. These words are intentional.
From this challenge, I hope to gather the habit of reaching out intentionally to tell my husband why I love him, on a regular basis. I hope that, soon, I will not need the reminder on my phone and it will become as much of a habit as saying
I love you is.
I’ll keep you updated.
