So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

better than anything else

I catch my breath, I think of you
I cannot rest, I think of you

How wonderful life is
While you're in the world

Poem: [i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]
Love language practice (listening): How do I make you feel supported, cared for, special, loved?
Love language practice (sharing): How you make me feel supported, cared for, special, loved
The enduring romance of mixtapes
Do you want to be hugged, helped, or heard?
Marriage isn’t hard work; it’s serious play
