“Say I Love You” was the theme of our Valentine Banquet this year. I took about a week and asked the Lord to teach me 100 ways to tangibly say “I Love You” to my wife with words and actions. This list below is what God gave me. I shared it with the folks at the banquet. You will probably find items that you do regularly and others that are out of your comfort zone. I encourage you to look at this list daily and pick a few of these ideas to show true love to your mate. I challenge you to do it faithfully for a month and watch what effect true love can have on your relationship. Let me know how it goes!
