Today I decided to take the day off and was able to sleep in and just recover from last week. When planning my day out I thought to myself you know we’ve been pretty busy the last month and the condo needs a good cleaning. So I took it upon myself to really clean the condo from top to bottom, almost a spring cleaning. This isn’t something we do every week, we usually do a good clean on the weekend. However like I said we’ve been busy and sometimes we’ve been a bit snippy and grouchy towards each other because of it.
Because I know one of my wife’s love language is “acts of service” I decided to make part of my day cleaning up the condo. Not because I need brownie points, but because I know my wife loves when I do this and it makes her happy. Its one way that I can really give back and serve my partner and really show that I know her and what she likes.
So while there are many things that I do for my wife, I know this is one of the big ones that really does make her feel good. I would never have known that until she read this book. I would have kept doing other things to make her happy but never know exactly what did. I think she was also quite surprised when she read this book.
This is just one of the many ways of how we continually work on our relationship and one of the key things that World Wide Dreambuilders teaches. We are in an amazing business and for a business such as this that cares so much about family life is really really awesome. Try finding that in your 9-5 job!
