I'm trying to work things out and communicate more.
I recently read the book "Five Love Languages," and I think I've decided that my love language is gifts and physical touch, but my husband's love language is probably acts of service. He takes out the trash, does the laundry, other things around the house even when I don't ask him to. I always say "thanks for doing the ___ honey" but I'm not sure how far that goes to tell him that I really do appreciate it. And I know I'm horrible at this part - if he does the laundry 'wrong' or puts the dishes in the 'wrong' spot I do sometimes get upset. I will try to control that. But...I'm thinking that in order to show my love to him in a way he understands - I need to return the favor, and do some 'acts of kindness' for him. Now before you all tell me he needs a BJ...remember...his love language is NOT physical touch. That is for sure. What can I do for him to show that I care? Maybe cook a nice dinner? Wash his car for him? Clean out the garage? I have been taking my daughter for a walk in the evenings to give him a break, especially on the days he is home with her all day. I hope that helps. And I left him a little note in his wallet this morning that said I Love You and thanks for some stuff he recently did. Any other ideas? I do think our marriage can still be saved, if I can control my bad behaviors, and communicate better with him. I do love him. I really do. I'm meant to be with him. There are too many strange coincidences that forced us together - I really think we were meant to be together for some reason. I want to keep working on it. |
