Day 1: Acts of Service

Day 2: Quality Time

Today we will be looking at a second love language called quality time. Now, we all love spending time with our loved one but if this is your love language, you feel especially loved when you spend quality time with them. These are the times when you get their absolute undivided attention. You two may be having a quiet dinner and your spouse will put away his/her cell phone and focus only on you for the time being.

Do you or your spouse have a job where you are on call 24/7? I know how stressful it can be to have your spouse’s phone ringing all the time. My husband is the worship leader at our church and his phone goes off constantly. However, he does take those times like during dinner to focus on Peyton and me to just catch up on the day. I really appreciate times like those because life does get so busy. (In case you are wondering, this isn’t my love language.)

Another way you could spend quality time with your spouse is to make a movie night. You could go out or stay in. If you have kids, find someone to watch the kiddos for a couple hours and spend that time with your spouse (grandparents love that stuff).

Too often we let time pass us by without taking a moment to spend a little bit of time together. Especially when you have children, you are always running around taking care of their needs and we sometimes forget to spend anytime with the one we love the most. Or even if you don't have children, jobs and other activities I know can take up a lot of your time.

So if this is your spouse’s love language, here is my challenge to you:

Tonight while having dinner (or if schedules don’t work out to where you can have dinner together tonight) try putting away your cell phone. If it rings, let it ring. Take that time to spend with them and let them know that you love them. Trust me, they will love it.
