9. Family Book Club
Choose a family friendly book and read it together. Discuss the story and characters over a cup of hot chocolate. Share your love story of how you met and when you found out you were pregnant with each of your kids. Tell them about how it was love at first sight when they were born, and even before they were born!
Don’t forget to share with them the greatest love gift ever given, from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 KJV
10. Acts of Kindness
Encourage each other with acts of kindness. Make cards for one another with coupons like “no chore day” or “foot rub”, etc. Go around the room and tell each person something you love about them. Express the importance of loving each other and being kind to one another. The family unit, the family team, is one of the most important relationship spheres on earth!
These are great ideas! I am excited to start sharing our love story each year as a family! Thanks for all the inspiration!
Thank you! Glad you found inspiration with some of these fun ideas!
