Adam asked me to conduct and I asked him to turn to the topical section of the hymnbook and choose his favorite hymn about love. We sang and prayed.
We filled out this fun quiz from Real Simple called "How Well Do You Know Your Valentine?" and tried to guess what we thought the other person would put. We know each other pretty well! Must be love!
Then we took turns reading paragraphs of this article (earlier today I went to this website and found some fantastic family night ideas). We talked about how we can increase our trust and love in our marriage and some areas we both want to focus on. We picked some goals we're going to work on this week (we try to do this every week) and wrote them on the white board on our fridge (you know, daily reminders).
Then for an activity we each got a handful of candy hearts and wrote love notes to each other.
For a treat we ate valentine cupcakes that I made with love (which actually most of them are going to a work potluck tomorrow... but they won't miss two, right?).
You two are so stinkin cute. I love your pictures and your whole blog! What a cute wife you are Steph!
ReplyDeleteok, I'm pretty sure we'll have to come visit you guys soon since you posted pictures of matt's favorite valentine candy. i love the quiz too, if you don't get all of the questions right does that mean we don't love each other? just kidding. i need you to tutor me on blogging with all of your links and words in color, etc. very professional compared to my basic blog. so fun. you are a very creative person and such a cute wife, already celebrating valentines...
ReplyDeleteYou guys are awesome! I love it. What great examples you guys are. thanks for the ideas, DARLING!!
ReplyDeleteCute FHE! I love it! I especially love the idea of writing notes with candy hearts - very clever. I have so many blogs to catch up on - it's been a while since I've had time to peruse them (sad!). I hope you're doing well and I'll try to stay in better contact!! I miss you!
