I just discovered Stefanie from Uplifting Words yesterday & I love her current series, 31 Day Challenge: Daily Encouragement for Our Spouses! Of course I just discovered it so I'm a bit behind, but I am totally going to be keeping up with this and encourage you to as well.
I've been thinking a lot about the first day here lately, she talks about the 5 love languages. You should go read the post & check out your love language as well as your husbands, their is a link in her post. Without taking the little quiz I can tell you that my husband probably scores very high on physical touch where I score very low on physical touch.
I think when we were dating I cuddled a lot & held hands a lot, but not as much any more. It's got a lot worse since I've become pregnant. I honestly would be okay if he never touched me. That sounds awful, but something about the hormones and the hot weather make me hate being touched. Really hoping some colder weather will cure me and I'll want some serious cuddles, but by the time it's cold I may be so huge that cuddling will just be uncomfortable. I feel bad though because I know Cody lives for the physical touch. I'm trying to be better about it by holding hands more and occasionally allowing the cuddles. In the same way that I hope Cody will see the things I desire in our relationship and work at it even though they aren't easy for him. So my goal...cuddle, kiss, hold hands, etc.
What about you? What's your love language & your husbands? Should you be working harder at showing him how much he's loved by meeting him where he needs you to?

His is a combo of physical touch and quality time. Mine is definitely word of affirmation. Have you read that book?? It's really good!
