What is "LOVE MONTH" ?
For those of you interested in giving your love life a lift, I suggest Love Month. January is a time to make a few goals and renew yourself to be a better you. February is a time to renew your marriage. This will be my friend Emy's fourth year doing love month, and each year she tries to get as many friends and family to do it with her because she wants you to experience some of the joys that have come from LOVE MONTH. This will be my first year to do LOVE MONTH and I'm excited, mostly because I know Jason is going to LOVE it, what spouse wouldn't?
LOVE MONTH- Pick something small you can do for your spouse every day for the month of February.
Here are some suggestions from Emy for LOVE MONTH:
For the first day of February and the first day of Love Month, I like to decorate the house (or maybe just one room) with paper hearts while Trevor is at work. This is something easy to do and my kids have a great time sticking paper hearts all over. Trevor can't help but smile when he comes home. I leave a little pink note of the counter with a "Day One" written on the front and inside I write a short love message.
I love Love Month. I know I'm the one doing all these little things for Trevor, but he really appreciates all the little things. We get a long better and feel more love for each other for the entire year. It is well worth the investment and is so much fun to do. I promise you won't be disappointed.
Stephanie helped me put the following list together of easy Love Month ideas. If you plan a little ahead of time and write down your ideas on a Calendar it makes the month run smoothly. I don't feel like I'm scrambling to do something or think of something last minute.
