Ask your spouse about a dream they hold for their life, and one small way you could back it.
Not a task for this week. A hope for their life. Knowing it, and helping toward it, joins two lives.
Talk with your spouse about what your roles at home mean to each of you, not just who does what.
Not a chore chart. What providing, nurturing, or protecting means to you underneath.
Name one goal you are building toward together, and say it out loud as ours.
The home, the children's upbringing, a habit of worship. Something you are making together.
Agree with your spouse on one value you want your home to stand for, and live it this week.
Generosity, honesty, patience, prayer. Pick one, name it, and let it show in the house.
Tell your children, or each other, one good part of your story of us.
How you met, a hard thing you got through, why you are proud of this we. Say it aloud.
Wake gently for a prayer together at night, even once this week.
A shared moment turned toward God, in the quiet of the night, binds two hearts to something larger than themselves.
