On Monday we talked about treating your spouse well above all else. Today we want to share some ideas to help you keep the motivation going. Pick one a week for the next few weeks without telling your spouse. Let them notice the special attention. This will be fun!

• Organize a sock or underwear drawer.
• Leave a love note or funny meme somewhere that will surprise them to find.
• Pay attention to small requests and do it immediately e.g. “I’ve got a sweet tooth.” If possible make them something or order Uber delivery.
• Mail your spouse a card with a gift card in it to their favorite fast food or coffee shop.
• Compliment your spouse when with friends.
• Never underestimate the joy of a spontaneous shoulder/foot massage or back scratching session.
• Give them a lasting kiss when they least expect it.
• Write out a prayer for them that shows how you are taking their concerns to the Lord and give it to them when they need the encouragement.
• Your turn____________________________.

Add your ideas to the list in the comments. Let’s take the Dog Days of Summer to intentionally nurture our marriage.

“A word in season, how good it is.” Proverbs 15:23b ESV

That’s all for today. If we purpose to do these small acts of encouragement imagine the effect it will have in our homes. This is our prayer for you today.

Enjoy the challenge,
