Love You Can Do On Any Day, By Shannon Batts, Relationship Gardener
Your mate loves suprises (maybe-depends, is it chocolate?), but I know something more satisfying than a bouquet that you can give on any day that ends in Y.
Curiosity.
Look deeply in her eyes and ask what was a truly joy filled moment in her life, and then follow up with more questions that help her get her story out. Find another, and another good story to hear about a moment of overcoming a challenge, or facing a fear. Find out what speaks love to her. “What would be the top 3 things you would want me to do for you if you could ask anything?”
What are your top 3 concerns, what are you proud of, what is your yet unfulfilled dream? Ask. Listen with rapt attention. These are the questions that fill your Love Map-knowledge of each other’s world. Happy, long lasting couples do this well-and it is a gift of love that so many are hungry for-being known, understood, & listened to. That and a hand drawn Valentine should do it-oh and cooking dinner-thanks, Hon!
