Yesterday was Valentines Day and though I do adore the holiday, for married couples it should be an everyday event. Taking one day out the year to buy heart shaped everything, and buy cards that say "I love you" is overrated! Time should be taken daily to express your love and appreciation for your spouse. By doing this, you prevent a lot of negativity in your marriage. If you aren't letting your spouse know your adoration and just assuming they should know, your spouse could begin to feel that you don't care at all. This is a fall to many marriages. If one feels they aren't cared for, than they start searching to be appreciated. They could be looking for the appreciation from another mate, in their work, by volunteering, or by their children. Your first focus should always be God, and in a marriage your second focus should be your spouse. Let's not assume our spouse knows how much they are loved and cared for, and let's not just take valentine's day, birthdays, and anniversaries to show it.

Husbands and wives try to take the time to do what your spouse would usually do for you unannounced. Appreciation is more than just words even though words are great. An action goes a long way, so start appreciating with your actions and watch your marriage grow!
Important Fact: When you look to be loved in your marriage you won't make it, but when you unconditionally love it's contagious and will make your marriage mush sweeter.
