Drop by a home decor store like Hobby Lobby or Cracker Barrel. Find a saying that reminds you of your wife.  Take a picture and text it to her, letting her know she is on your mind.

The family that prays together, stays together. God's desire is to be the center of our marriage and family. When everything is going well, we should praise Him. When things are tough, we should run to Him. When we need direction, we should seek Him.

Take time this week to pray with your wife each day for your marriage and children. The more time we spend together in prayer, the stronger our relationship will grow with each other and with God.

The kitchen is the center of many of the family's activities. Ask your wife if there are any changes she would like to make to the kitchen. Maybe she needs a new small appliance, some organization, cleaning, or even a small remodeling project.

We just moved and have spent a lot of time organizing the kitchen and pantry. Take time this week to start on improving the kitchen and show your wife that you value her and want to help make her life better.

Take time this week to stop and enjoy the world around you. Find something beautiful, take a picture and send it to your wife. Let her know how it reminds you of her. For bonus points, repeat several times throughout the week.

Spending time together as a whole family is important to build unity and bonding. One easy way is to set aside nights to read together. Reading aloud a classic family book is an old school way to help get everyone on the same page. Discussing the story line and lessons that can apply to real life are great ways to instill character.

If you and your wife have "A Song", find it, CD, MP3, or YouTube. If not, look for a favorite love song. Send it in an email with a note letting her know something you love about her.

If your wife takes care of the laundry, time this week to help out or even take over. If you don't have much experience, you may want some assistance in sorting, what cycle to wash on, and what items need to be air dried. Don't forget to fold and put it all away after you are done.

If you do the laundry, take over something else she normally does to give her a break.
