Conversation While You Cook

Pick a TV or movie character that most reminds you of me and explain why you chose that character.

Tell me your version of our story; how we met, our first date, the emotions you experienced.

List the qualities in me that led you to choose me as your partner in life. Explain why those were important to you.

Describe what quality time together this week would look like to you.

From your childhood, explain the games you played that were most memorable and why they have so much meaning for you.

Describe your dream vacation. Include the kinds of activities you'd plan, the meals you eat, and who you'd like to travel with.

Describe something new you've been learning this week and how it's affected you, our relationship, and our family.

After you’ve prepared dinner, it’s time to settle in for a special with Ted Lowe! We’ve included this exclusive opportunity below.


Keep It Going

This week, write five sticky notes with one-sentence things you love and appreciate about your spouse. Place them where he or she will find them when you aren’t around.
