QUALITY TIME:

It's always fun to gather together with family and friends to watch the FIFA World Cup™. Take the initiative and see who's willing to gather for some soccer, snacks, and "smack talk". If you find several people who are interested, plan a viewing party.

I Have Always Loved You!

Physical Touch:

“During the winter months I lay on my lover’s side of the bed and warm it up, so when he climbs in, the sheets aren’t freezing. I’m rewarded with his warm body next to my now freezing one. It’s led to some amazing intimacy and great humor.”

—Terri

Quality Time:

“Sometimes I take time with my teenager before he goes to bed. I let him choose a board game and we share a little moment together. We laugh and talk together. It doesn’t have to take a long time to show that we care.”

—Karine

Acts of Service:

“My partner sets out all the things that the kids & I eat for breakfast & starts packing the lunch boxes for me before he goes to work. It’s so thoughtful & nice to come out to when I wake up, often having been up multiple times overnight with the baby.”

—Renee

Words of Affirmation:

“I was 14, it was my mom's b'day, & I hadn't gotten her a gift. My younger siblings & I created a maze around the house. I chose 7 of my mother's fav places & wrote a 2-3 stanza poem about why we love her. She said she had never felt more loved.”

QUALITY TIME:

"My bf & I are long distance. For dates, we'll plan to do an activity at the same time & send each other pictures and videos throughout the activity. We'll go for ice cream, pick our flavors, sit down somewhere & video chat while eating our ice cream.”

—Mya

GIFTS:

"When I wrap a gift, I like to address it in a meaningful & personal way. I address it to 'deer slayer,' 'greatest bench presser,' etc., to personalize their name tags w accomplishments they're proud of from the past year.”
