Volunteer together!

One of the best ways to build a healthy relationship is to serve others together. This volunteering can take place at any location you would like; it just depends on what type of people you are! There are animal shelters that let you walk dogs, homeless shelters where you can serve food, you can even work together to make a blanket or something that you can donate to those who are less fortunate.

Another way that you can volunteer right at home is through cooking meals or baking. We all have neighbors, and often there is a good chance that those neighbors have struggles and would really appreciate a kind gesture. You can make a meal or bake some goodies together, and then go drop them off at that neighbor’s house together to let them know that you are aware of them and you wanted to help in this small way; they will definitely appreciate it!

Don’t Forget to Reconnect!

One of the hardest things to do for some people is to ask for help. The women in my family especially struggle with this, and I have seen how their lives have been made harder because they refused such help. For this date, on the idea of service and volunteering that we were focusing on, I would like you to take some time to think about how you can serve your wife. Each of you think of one way that your spouse could help you, and share it with them. Then each think of something separate you could each do for your spouse. Take these two things that have been expressed for how you can serve your spouse, and work on them specifically that week. This will strengthen your marriage relationship and will also create positive outcomes!
