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.

Spring is in full swing and it is a great time to do a bit of spring cleaning. Organize the entire family to go through closets, storage areas, bedrooms, and living areas. Pile up all the things you don't need any longer and organize what is left. 

Get everyone involved in cleaning the house top to bottom.  Have contests to see who can clean the fastest. When done find a family in need, have a garage sale, or haul everything to a local charity.

With the weather turning nice it is a great time to get outdoors. Take your wife for a walk around your home to come up with a plan on sprucing up the outside.

Head to your local nursery or home goods store and make your dream a reality.  Involve the whole family.

Scripture is God's love letter to us. It is filled with encouragement for any season of life. Go online and find a scripture image to text your wife as a declaration of God's promise for her.

If you haven't already taken it, take the love language quiz http://www.5lovelanguages.com/profile/ .

Review your primary language and discuss ways you can show your wife love in her language and she can show you love. If you want more information read Gary Chapman's 5 Love Languages book. It will radically change your marriage.  

Our culture constantly bombards us with negativity which may bleed over into our personal lives. Many times, we can become pessimistic and begin to see things through jaded eyes.

Take time this week to focus on the positive and find the silver lining in every situation. When faced with problems, look for opportunities. When faced with conflict, work together to find the solution. Staying positive and upbeat can transform the atmosphere of our families and marriage.
