In our small group, we are doing Gary Chapman's "The Five Love Languages." I realized tonight I am in for a challenge. Dan's primary love language is Acts of Service. I had a sneaking suspicion. Aghhhhh. Luckily, his number two is Words of Affirmation. That seems easier. Fortunately, there are many awesome things I can say about my husband.
Tuesday we have our group meeting where we will be discussing our "homework." I am definitely hoping to be graded on a curve. Now if I can just find the vacuum.
The problem with Acts of Service is that "regular cleaning" doesn't count. It is a given that the endless cycle of diapers, dishes, laundry, [insert Karina's mess] that goes on is just expected. Somehow I have to find a way to go above and beyond.
This past Father's Day we were supposed to go to a barbecue, and then Karina got a 102 degree fever. Needless to say, I didn't go without him. I also didn't feel right going out to eat later on with my father and leaving Dan at home.
So, maybe we'll declare a do-over Father's Day. That would include No. 3 = Quality time. Maybe I can get the hang of this yet.
Karina's present -- too cute! Well, my love language obviously includes gifts : )
