Of course you do! I think most married couples desire to demonstrate their love to each other, but sometimes the problem is knowing how to make your spouse feel loved. That's why books like The Five Love Languages stay on the bestsellers lists (and if you've never read it, I'd highly recommend you do).
But I was thinking this morning about one way to make your spouse feel loved that is perhaps a universal love language:
Brag on your husband or wife--in public!
This is something I think Howell does really well. Last week, I shared with you about my experiences at ACFW. I've had some people ask me if I knew I was going to win the award beforehand because Howell was already filming before they announced it.
Nope, I definitely didn't know. And neither did he, except in his gut.
Not only did he capture the moment on video, but he started sharing it with all our friends and family--and eventually on Facebook.
On Monday, he came home and was talking about how he'd showed the video to his coworkers.
Y'all, my heart floated right out of my chest.
He was bragging about me? And my Christian fiction romance book? To a bunch of men? At work?
*Swoon.*
I know this demonstration of love goes both ways. When I brag about Howell to my friends or in front of him, it makes him feel loved and respected.
It's a small thing, but it means so much. This week, be mindful of moments when you're in a group with your spouse--and then take a second to brag. You'll fill your spouse's love cup.
