Our Love Cups




Josh and I went over to David and Jenny's house Monday night for dinner, which was awesome and for family home evening! It was so much fun, the last couple of times we have been there Josh gets in the car and says I feel bad for keeping them up so late, I just love talking to David and Jenny. Well for family home evening David read bits and pieces from president Faust's ensign talk, Enriching your Marriage, and also talked about the book The Five Love Languages. The book talks about the 5 different ways people show love, and how you may show love a different way then your spouse. So you may think you're being way considerate, but they might think you're nelglecting them, or not showing them the attention they need. It says you show love the way you want it to be shown to you, and sometimes spouses just need it expressed differently than one another. It is really interesting, and something we never thought about. So then Jenny had this idea where you write down all things you would love if your spouse did for you and put them all into a jar. So we all did that. So now at the beginning of each day I pick one from Josh's jar, and he picks one from mine, and we make sure to do that little thing sometime throughout the day. We thought this was such a good idea, we had to blog about it. I think everyone should try it, it really has been pretty fun. Not only is it fun to see what note Josh picked out that day but it makes me notice the other little things he does for me that I might of just over looked before.

  2. That is a really good idea. I would say we should do it, but lets be real. I like the idea that you got together for FHE. That might be fun for all of us to do once in a while.

  4. I've read that book and love it! It made so much sense. The only problem is we haven't really tried to change....we should try to be more like our cute young married children. Ahhhh, nothing like young love, so kind and considerate! Hey, not such a fun idea of having FHE without us, no fair. Just kidding, I love to hear that ya'll love being with each other. Boo hoo, I miss ya'll and can't wait to see you next week!!!!
