It's easy to get distracted and to miss the little things. To think that the wife making dinner is a job, not something she does out of love, etc. We need to remember to be thankful for the love shown through the ordinary. @ErinL: This is so true, Erin.

My love-language is gifts, so this is sometimes a hard topic for me. I have to remind myself that my husband does a lot of things for me that he could never do before we were married (fix dinner so I can rest, get up with our son so I can get a little more sleep, etc.). Those are ways that he is always showing his love, so even without gifts, he is constantly looking for ways to bless me and show is love. Before you are married, sometimes gifts are one of the only ways to show love; but aftewards it is not that gifts aren't as forthcoming...it's just that it is no longer the "only option" for showing love. It becomes just one of many, many ways. Very true! My love-language is gifts, so this is sometimes a hard topic for me.
