Better to Give….

When was the last time you gave a gift to your spouse for no reason at all? The last time you just showed them appreciation for who they are?

Gifts are visual symbols of love. Most wedding ceremonies include the giving and receiving of rings.

The person performing the ceremony says, “These rings are outward and visible signs of an inward and spiritual bond that unites your two hearts in love that has no end.”

This isn’t just meaningless rhetoric. It is a significant truth – symbols have emotional and sentimental value. Visual symbols of love are more important to some people than to others. That’s why when you give a gift to some people, they cry or get really excited. It speaks more deeply than words, quality time, physical touch or acts of service.

Is your spouse a gifts person? Give them one gift this week that will make their day, something small that will speak to them. Then encourage others with your story, post a comment telling what you gave them, and how they responded.

    One of my main love languages is Words of Affirmation – so, my husband sent a journal with me on a 2-week trip with daily entries full of affirmation – using a poem or a scripture to emphasize each theme. I will be sharing them on my blog this next week: http://www.forbesclan.blogspot.com.

    That’s a great idea! It’s always good when you can combine 2 love languages. I’m excited to read the entries on your blog. Thanks for sharing Suzanne! Does anyone else have any comments, stories, or ideas about combining 2 or more of the love languages?
