I Can't Believe I sent this to a Radio Station.

It is strange but I find myself listening to a Christian Radio Station that is located in Texas. I found this station through ITunes and have enjoyed the music and positive message. I listen while I write and blog.

Well today the station asked their listeners to submit a fun and creative relationship-building tool.

Valentine’s Day is Saturday and I thought this is a perfect idea for us to share here as well. So, share with me a creative relationship-building tool you have proven in your own marriage. Then log-on to the station KLOVE and submit it there as well.

If they select your suggestion you can win A DVD copy of the movie Fireproof and a copy of The Love Dare book. Since we are starting our Love Dare today at 1Peter3Living, I thought I would enter.

Why not?

I have posted this suggestion at Spiritually Unequal Marriage because it works..... and is perfect for this week heading towards Valentine’s Day. Your V-day could turn out to be very, uhem, un-boring.

Okay here it is…. Gasp!

After 17 years of marriage, I knew it was possible our relationship could languish into boredom and routine. My husband would leave for work and never think about me the rest of the day. Gone were the days when he couldn’t wait to get home to see me.

One day I decided I wanted him to think about me all day. I zinged off a quick email to his Blackberry, "Honey, what color are my panties?"

Shocking?

Perhaps but it worked. He couldn’t stop thinking about me ALL DAY LONG. *grin*

Fun, spice, and Christ are the reasons we are thriving in our 17 years of marriage.

Okay gang.... Let's hear your tip. You are some of the wittiest and wisest people I know. I am sure there are some good ones. Don't be shy. All of us can use a tip to make our marriage better. Be Blessed, Lynn

LOL! I just love you, Lynn. You are so cool, and so brave. I love this idea of making our spouses think of us during the day.

I can't share anything in particular—too personal. ;-) But just taking the effort to do something different for our spouses can speak volumes. :-)

Dineen,

I am grinning. Wonder if it is too crazy to use on the air. hmmmm *grin*

Anyhoo, I think our first day of the Love Dare is one of the best realationship tools we can use. Refraining for saying something negative.

To really do this is beyond my power. I have to ask Jesus to keep my mouth shut. But, oh, thing of what may result if I can do this for 40 days. I can't wait to see what the Lord does with our obedience.

Love you tons. Lynn

Good one!

One year, for no reason at all, even though it wasn't her weekend to have her, I called Kristyn's mother to see if she would babysit. She agreed and I took off work, went to the dollar store and grabbed every votive candle and glass saucer I could find. I think I spent less than $25. I booked a room at a local motel, got 2 room keys and during Steve's lunch hour, when I knew he would be out, snuck into his office and left a note with the name of the hotel and a simple Meet me in Room XYZ". I lit the candles at 5:15 and he was there by 5:30. It wasn't a very expensive hotel, nor was it seedy. Think Ramada rather than Ritz.

It worked for us!

I love this! Thank you for telling me about the contest too, I'll have to enter. I love your tip!

The first thing that came to mind is that my husband and I hide a little stuffed heart. It is so fun to find it and know he is thinking of me. It is challenging too to find new places to hide the little thing for him to find.

L.o.v.e. i.t.! Guess I need to buy panties in colors other than beige or black, huh. :)

Oh, Lynn, you are hilarious!!!! I can't believe you did that, I mean, send the message to you beloved, but then again, thinking about it -- yeah I believe you did just that - lol...
I am pretty lame, but I send my beloved a daily message that I love and respect him :)

You make me smile really big sweet friend. I cannot believe I am going to share this, but oh well. On Valentines Day last year, I wrote love letters to Eddie, and put them all over our apartment. When he came in from work, he found the love letters, but not me. I was hiding in our living room closet. When he finally found me, and opened the closet door, there I was wearing a big bow and a big smile, and not much else!! Needless to say, it was a very romantic Valentines Day. lol

[Julianne]

Hmm...I will not say what I have done, but I truly do LOVE your idea too! I think I blushed when I read your idea. I felt my cheeks tighten and get red. I guess I was thinking about trying out that idea on my hubby too! LOL!

Blessings to you dear sister!
