For those of you who've been following our journey for awhile, you may remember me mentioning this awhile back.
Love Jars.
Jonathan and I are committed to being proactive in our marriage-consistently having dates, learning to work through the intricacies of communication, seeking counsel, etc.
We don't want to grow old and suddenly find ourselves strangers who have lived side-by-side for years. It's so easy to beside each other and miss living with each other.
All prepositions aside, one of the things we've done throughout the almost three years we've been married is a little exercise called Love Jars.
We both sit down with a pen and paper and write out a few things that would bless us.
My list usually looks something like
-surprise me with a latte
-give me a back massage
-let's go for a walk and Talk
-latte!
Jonathan's is also pretty simple
-watch TV with me one night, anything I want
-sleep in with me
-cook me dinner AND do the dishes
And then we each draw a slip o' paper from the other's jar to do that week. The idea is that we would constantly learn to love each other better (and get a few treats along the way!)
We still have a lot to learn in marriage, a lot of years to serve, honour and bless each other.
And we're grateful for every single step. It's going to be a pretty sweet journey.
{What fun things do you and your spouse or friends do to show your extra appreciation for each other?!}
Can't wait to hear.
