- ➡️ This is Day 3 of the 5 Day Love Language Challenge
Todays Challenge is Acts of Service
Gary Chapman emphasizes that many people feel that "actions speak louder than words." Even though you are good at juggling all the moving pieces in your life, it's nice to have someone help you out. Not because you need help, but because you feel loved when people lend a hand.
Your assignment is to jump in and do something for your partner to lighten their load.
Here are some examples:
➡️ Do one of their household chores for them (ie grocery shopping, cleaning the cat litter, folding and putting away their laundry)
➡️ Prepare a beverage or meal for them (choose something they usually prep on their own).
➡️ Ask them if they need help with anything
Healthy relationships are not built with conflict resolution skills or shared interests or hobbies, they thrive from solid friendships and treating each other lovingly. I kid you not, it is way simpler than it seems.

If your partner wants to do this 5 Day Love Language Challenge with you, great, but if they don't that's totally okay as well, and this can still be fun and connecting.
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.
Interesting.
Done!
Completed. T expressed an urge to sweep a floor. Then other priorities arose and she went away; so it was complete when she returned.😊
As I am waiting on my nephews next visit, I bought today some chocolate I know they love in several different flavors. I had fun choosing new flavors imagining they will enjoy. What a joy to offer something meaningful to our significant ones!
Completed. Made dinner and cleaned up after.
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.
My hubbie did his part - made me tea this morning, now I will find something to do for him
