Committed: The Ties that Bond
with Angella Dykstra
I'm a mom of three, a professional accountant, and an amateur photographer and writer. I am not a marriage expert. But my husband and I take "Til death do us part" seriously, and here I'll be sharing how we keep our marriage strong while we both do that insane work-life juggle.
Check out my Work It, Mom! profile and my blog, Dutch Blitz.
I read an article over on Shine titled, “How do you say, “I love you?” The premise of the article is about finding ways to express love to your significant other beyond merely stating those three little words.
Many moons ago I posted about figuring out what your spouses “Love Language” is. There is a thirty-second quiz you can take to determine if you feel loved by receiving gifts, hearing kind words, etc.
Without hashing through that whole topic again I thought I would share how I “show” love to my husband. He is a bit of a chocoholic so I will often bake him sweet treats or pick up his favorite candy bar while grocery shopping. But if I really want to woo him? I…mop the floors. Seriously. He hates dirty floors with a passion and is the one who usually cleans them because he JUST CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
How about you? How do you say “I love you” without uttering the words?

I make his lunch for him to take to work even though it makes me feel like a 50’s housewife.

My husband’s primary love language is physical affection, followed closely by acts of service, so I make a real effort to show him in that way. Hugs for no reason, holding his hand or snuggling while we watch TV, even just touching his shoulder or arm when I walk past him. Acts of service is easy for me, I love to cook or bake for him, as he is always soooo appreciative and it makes ME feel good too

I rub his (shaved) head, and scratch his back.
