1.Knock out that item on her to-do list she just hasn’t gotten to.
2.What little touches could better make your home a “prepared place”–like God creates for us–that’s comforting, encouraging, and uplifting, so family and guests feel embraced?

1.The key with communicating in this love language (so I’m told) is to study the recipient well, and communicate your understanding of him or her through the gift. It’s not about the size, but the intentional, knowing thoughtfulness, a demonstration of I get you. I see you.

3.Have a cup of coffee (or a favorite morning beverage) ready when he or she comes out in the morning–just the way they like it–or a snack when they arrive home.
