Three words: "I Love You"

"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." Proverbs 25: 11

Every spouse has a deep need to feel, cherished, valued, and treasured to name a few. Daily reminders of love and affection will fill your hearts and lift your spirits, nurturing your relationship and causing it to thrive like a lush, well- tended, sunlit garden. And just as a beautiful flower garden harbors many colorful varieties of annuals and perennials, there are countless ways to express love.

A special favor, a helping hand with the chores. A card, a bouquet of flowers, a tasty treat. A touch or what we call "masajito" a hug, an impromptu slow dance. A listening ear, a real conversation. A shared memory, hearty laughter, a walk in the moonlight. A wink, a smile, a compliment. And don't forget to speak those three words each day, "I love you!"

Words are powerful. They can build you up individually and strengthen you as a couple. They can encourage you and remind you of your lifelong commitment to each other., of the reasons why you chose to journey through this life together.

"I love you." Poets and songwriters of every age have searched for compelling words to communicate the depth of such emotion, but none has found a better way than this simple, heartfelt phrase. It never wears out and it never gets out of style. Take a moment to hold hands, gaze into each other's eyes, and whisper it today: "Te quiero" or simply ask: Do you still love me?

Con amor,
Vero
