\"Hearts,<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve heard so often, \u201cdiamonds are a girl\u2019s best friend.\u201d \u00a0You set the scene for romance with jewels and flowers. So what do hearts, flowers and organizing have in common? According to the Five Love Languages and Real Simple<\/a>, a lot!<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

What\u2019s love got to do with it?<\/h3>\n

In the book, The Five Love Language<\/a>s, Dr. Chapman shares the many ways we share and connect in love relationships. \u00a0These include acts of service, words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, and receiving gifts. \u00a0Each of these are ways that we share connection.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Give a little gift of your heart<\/h3>\n

Acts of service is just one of these five. Acts of service are those ways you take on a responsibility for your loved one or perform an act of kindness. \u00a0These include vacuuming, doing the dishes, and routines around the house or at work. Now you can see how these two connect every day and especially at Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Families and homes have many responsibilities. \u00a0Set aside a family meeting time to discuss and assign home routines. \u00a0Be sure that there is an equitable distribution of work, hopefully assigned by preferences. Everyone hates to do dishes so work as a team to get this complete. \u00a0Together every one accomplishes more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Words of love soft and tender<\/h3>\n

Another one of the love languages, words of affirmation, set the stage for romance. Words of affirmation are compliments, accolades and acknowledgements.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Show a little love with words of affirmation and gratitude. \u00a0Those who are washing and folding laundry, getting dinner on the table, or completing what is needed to keep you home up and running what to know you appreciate their efforts and that they are not taken for granted. \u00a0Knowing you appreciate them and their work keeps them motivated. \u00a0Share your gratitude with specific ways they are contributing to the organization, ease and energy of the house.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Love will keep us together<\/h3>\n

Quality time makes a difference. Quality time is spending meaningful time together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Team work can be quality time. \u00a0That work together might be time with body doubling, where you are working independently in the same space, or teaming up together on the same project. No one likes to be told what to do and no one wants to work alone. \u00a0Make it fun and work together on organizing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This Valentine\u2019s Day, take the 5 love languages quiz<\/a> and share some intimate organizing details over dinner!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
