The Love List

About 5 years ago, (I can't believe it's that long ago!) Wayne and I read a small book called The Love List: 8 little things that make a big difference in your marriage by Les and Leslie Parrot. We felt the list was worth refelcting on....

  • Tender Touch (8-10 meaningful touches a day)
  • Find something that makes you both laugh (We love SNL)
  • Do a shared activity together (Walk, yardwork, crossword puzzle)
  • Boost your partners self-esteem (appreciate and compliment)
  • Rid yourself of harmful residue (explore unfinished business)
  • Fire up the passion (guard privacy, save energy for your spouse)
  • Review your top-ten highlights (do this yearly)
  • Chart your course for the future(do you have a mission statement?)

What list item(s) can you improve on?
