Interesting.

Gift giving--what if your partner wants NO gifts? Gift giving is NOT one of his love languages.

Done .... I said I appreciate when he let's me chill after work and starts dinner

Since I'm married to another couples therapist, many people think that we do all the things we're supposed to do all the time, but news flash, we don't 😊Even though I created this challenge as an educator, I also completed it as just a person in a relationship trying to be a better partner, and I learned a lot from it. The first two days were the easiest for me, but the end of the week proved to be more impactful. I definitely had the most fun GIVING GIFTS. This surprised me, but it was just such a joy to show up with little things for all my family members when they didn't expect it. But it also required extra planning that obviously wasn't necessary for Day 1 and Day 2. Acts of service took the most internal struggle for me, and tbh, quality time hasn't happened yet. We had house guests the day of the challenge. Maybe it's an excuse, but I didn't make it happen. I'm committed to looping back so we get the full experience of all 5 days. What I liked most was the community aspect of everyone sharing what they did in the comments and supporting each other.

Great job completing all 5 Love Languages! If you missed any of the days, just check out all the videos are now live on the Love Languages Challenge Playlist on my channel.

I hope quality time with myself counts because that is what I have gotten today and it feels truly lovely and rewarding. No doubt that if I had a partner I would make sure to enjoy some togetherness as a great opportunity for deepening intimacy, closeness and getting to know even more my significant one. I have always loved those moments! Again, thanks for the challenge!

We scheduled time to complete decorating the front room of our house. This was a task we had both avoided because it could require that we each needed to removed some meaningful personal items & could have resulted in a disagreement. However, building on our previous work this week, we focused on creating agreement & the finished product is one we both enjoy.

✅ Done!

My hubbie did his part - made me tea this morning, now I will find something to do for him

Done- surprised him with lunch made (on his task list for today). Now he’s enjoying his free time by napping 😊. Took longer to figure out the Act of Service than to do it 🤣

Done-sweet touches throughout the day was WONDERFUL (said Touch Love Language person)

Completed. T expressed an urge to sweep a floor. Then other priorities arose and she went away; so it was complete when she returned.😊

Done ✅ Okay, so this one was more difficult for me than the first two! My love language is absolutely Acts of Service (as you probably already know from the titles of my books and workshops and retreats and blog posts etc etc). But, I realize this is my love language for RECEIVING love, not necessarily giving. It was harder for me than I anticipated to give Acts of Service with selfless generosity. First I was planning to walk our dog for the late night walk, but decided I didn't want to do that for selfish reasons ... I'm a morning person and by 8 PM I'm brain dead and tired and feel annoyance at anything that requires me to be vertical. So I decided not to do that one. Then I was thinking about cleaning out my husband's office. I got super excited about this idea and started to look at my schedule to figure out when to do it. But THEN I realized when I was honest with myself that cleaning that space would be more for me than for him. In fact it might not be so respectful if I threw away things he wanted to keep. So I finally decided to make him an omelette. I admire so many of my friends who have this nurturing demeanor when they prepare food, and it's not like that for me. For me, cooking is a chore and I usually rush through it even if there's no rush at all. So this morning, I had some time and made this huge garden omelette with all the veggies in our fridge and he was so happy when I surprised him with it. It was really lovely for both of us. He asked what the occasion was and I said "It's Acts of Service Day" and we both burst out laughing. It's a bit ironic how helpful it is for me to be doing the challenge that I literally created. I'm so grateful for community! As all of us learn together it's soooo much easier than those more familiar feelings like self-blame and doubt.

Have you heard the expression "Actions speak louder than words?" If this concept resonates, Acts of Service might be your love language. Doing nice things for each other helps us feel valued and more like a team as we all manage the obligations in our lives.

Today I made sure to express my appreciation to my manicure lady conveying how much I appreciate her service and I hugged her as I said that. It feels so good to exchange kindness in an even more deliberate and intentional way. Thanks for reminding us of how crucial and foundational this work really is.

Done.

Done. Thanks

Done ✅ This one was harder because I left early for work and we both worked all day. It turned out to be a great reminder to stop and connect a moment before rushing off to get dinner on the table.

Done. Thanks.

No partner at this moment but I have always been interested in developing my relational skills regardless of having or not a partner. We, my former partner and I, had that healthy habit of very often expressing our mutual appreciation. It was lovely and embracing. Thank you for the challenge. I love it!

Done on my end. Hubs had a long day & hasn't watched your video yet but promises to do 2 tomorrow.
