No need to wait until Valentine's Day to express your love and appreciation, and no need to limit your celebration to one day a year! If marriage was a garden, then expressions of love and appreciation are the sunshine!
So to be sure that your 'garden' is getting enough sun everyday, try these:
-leave little notes in your spouse's Bible, the car, in the underwear drawer, under the pillow
-write a message on the mirror (use chalk markers or dry erase markers)
-start a 'love note' notebook. You start by writing a letter to your spouse, ending your letter with the instructions for your spouse to write back to you. Then leave the book in a place where he/she can find it.
-send a random love e-mail
-kiss in front of the kids
-compliment your spouse in front of the kids
-say 'thank you' for something you normally don't say 'thank you' for
-volunteer to do a chore that your spouse usually does (even better, do it while your spouse is away and surprise him/her!)
