During the next eight weeks:

1. Pray with your spouse every day.
2. Enjoy a date with your spouse.
3. Spend ten minutes each day listening to your spouse share his or her day.
4. Discover and fulfill three ways your spouse likes you to show affection.
5. Say “thank you” about something your spouse has done for which you have never said “thank you” before.
6. Give your spouse 15 minutes per week to ask you any question and answer each question honestly.
7. Spend five uninterrupted minutes each week telling your spouse what you specifically appreciate about him or her.
8. Ask your spouse what domestic chore he or she would like you to do for him or her, and do it.
9. Call your spouse at least five times during the week to see how he or she is, and if there is something you can do for him or her.
10. Tell your spouse these three great words—“I need you”—at least five times.
11. Write a short love note and place it where he or she will most likely see it.
