I've learned after 25 years of marriage to Cynthia what she loves to hear. Perhaps you might suppose "I love you!" or other sweet messages, but that's not what my wife loves to hear. She loves to hear the sound of a vacuum cleaner with me at the controls. She is more of a show-me kind of girl than a tell-me type. I actually do verbalize my love for her quite often but mostly because "words of affirmation" is my love language. Hers is "acts of service." She appreciates when I tell her nice things, but it means more to her when there is a healthy balance of other sounds around the house as well. I love to serve my wife.

Hmmm...sounds very familiar to our household. I feel like Chad and I are in a season of "what can I do to show my husband/ wife I love them?", it came out of the blue, not even sure who started it, but it is great! I pray that God will let it continue as long as possible.
Thank you for letting your awesome marriage be an encouragement to us all!
I feel ya, man.
Laura always says it means more to her if I unload and reload the dishwasher (w/o being asked!) than receiving flowers from me!
