Still here, just buried in code ...



Hi gentlemen,

     I've spent most of the last two days trying to get the new Generous Husband system up and running.  If all goes well, you will tomorrow receive a Monday e-mail that will be a test message.  If that works, the Tuesday e-mail will give you information on migrating.

     Don't worry about having to make a change in a hurry, the new system will send mails to the old system for a month or more.

Be blessed, be generous, and be a blessing!

Get a card

This idea speaks to the "Words of Encouragement" language.                         

     Yes, I know Hallmark makes a bundle on Valentine's cards, but your bride will be blessed by it.  So fork over the money, write something nice, and be a blessing!  

Be blessed, be generous, and be lovingly vocal.

Take time for romance

This idea speaks to the "Quality Time" language     

     Use the occasion of Valentine's Day to make some time for a bit of romance.  Unless she is really big on "the day" you can plan something before or after the 14ht, and make it easier and less crowded. 

     So pick a day, get a sitter if needed, and do dinner and a movie - or whatever she would enjoy.

Be blessed, and make time to be generous!

Keep someone's kids



     One of you replied to the Tuesday tip saying that he and his bride do their Valentine's date on a day other than the 14th, and on the 14th they watch another couple's kids so that couple can go out.  WAY TO BE!

     If you really want to be a blessing, do this for a young couple who really can't afford to go out - and give them gift certificate's for a nice restaurant and a theater.

Be blessed, be generous, and give chocolate!

More Valentine's Service

This idea speaks to the "Acts of Service" language.    

     A couple of y'all sent some great ideas for serving others on Valentine's:

We go out on a day near Valentine's as a couple, then take your kids out on Valentine's day, should you have any. I take our girls out, and my wife takes our son out. We've been doing it for years, and the kids really look forward to it every year, even though the boy is 14 now.

I dress as cupid & my wife dresses as queen of hearts & we go to people who have had a difficult time ie: death of a spouse, loss of job, loss of friend or someone that has never been married.  We show up give them a goodie bag & the head to the next one on our list.  We get a blessing making them smile.


She's worth it!

Finish with a snuggle

This idea speaks to the "Physical Touch" language.                          

     Whatever you do for Valentine's Day, finish the day with a good long snuggle before you go to sleep.

Be blessed, be generous, and be romantic!

Bride's choice

This idea speaks to sexuality.            

     If sex is likely to be on the agenda for Valentine's Day, tell her it's her choice - what, when, where, how, and so on.  Make it her day to have sex the way she most wants it.


Be blessed, be generous, and women first!
<>< Paul
