Free Ideas: Sharing the Love

🚀 For these last few days, you’ll continue to surprise your partner with different types of thoughtfulness and care.

Choose one of your partner’s family or friends that you’ve gotten to know. Think of a moment you’re grateful for or their role in your life. For example:

• “David, that dinner you hosted a few months back was such a highlight for both of us. Julian and I were looking forward to it for weeks. I loved meeting your friends and finally tasting your famous chocolate chip cookies. Just wanted you to know how much I appreciated it.”

• “Maria! Every time Juliana and I see you, I feel like I walk away lighter and laughing — you’ve got that effect on people. Just wanted to say I’m really glad you’re part of our world.”
  

👉 Send that person a short text. Let go of expectations. Your partner may never hear about the text you sent — and that’s fine. This isn’t about recognition or praise. It’s about showing gratitude and care, and trusting that, in some way, that energy will be felt.

P.S. If you’re feeling extra generous, text short notes to 2 different people!

🚀 Yesterday, you practiced loving your partner by caring for the people they love. Today, you’ll continue that theme, showing your partner (and their circle) that what matters to them, matters to you.

Figure out the birthdays of a handful of your partner’s closest friends and family. When their birthdays roll around, send a short text, with a favorite photo of you and them. For example: “Happy birthday Elijah! This pic popped up from last year and made me smile.”

👉 Jot the dates down in your calendar, on a post-it, or in a note on your phone. You can snoop around on Facebook, look at your calendar from years past, or ask another family member or friend to fill you in.

🚀 As we near the end of this series, let’s decide what you’d like to carry forward into the weeks ahead.

The intention isn’t to do everything forever but to choose a few simple rhythms to keep love off autopilot. For example, you could pick a day of the week to:

• Hide a little love note.
• Tidy up a corner of your home.
• Text someone dear to your partner.
• Pick something from the bucket list.
• Gather for a little living room picnic.

👉 Choose what excites you, add a reminder to your calendar, and let it go when it no longer feels joyful.

Way to go. The care and effort you put into the past 10 days are worth celebrating!

We’ll wrap up with two last things.

1) Tell a friend. If you enjoyed this series, share it with a pal. Send them the link so they can get their partner beaming too.

2) Unlock a bonus goodie. I’d love to hear how this was for you. Fill out this short form and, as a thank-you, I’ll send you a 5% off code that you can use for Hidden Notes or Date Nights.

Thanks again for being here and for all the love and care you put in.

Warmly,
Josh
