Thank you for visiting Weekend Kindness-- the blog that helps you build positive relationships! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed so that you don't miss a single post from one of our great authors!

Here’s a project for you to do this weekend.  No, it’s nothing like cleaning out someone’s car, cleaning out the toilet, or even changing a dirty diaper.

This weekend, try declaring your love to your spouse.  But don’t just say “I love you– pass the chips.”  No, go the extra mile:

Pledge your love for a lifetime. Write it on calligraphy or design it on a desktop computer and print it out on parchment paper and have it framed.

Wow.  What a statement that would make to both your family, friends and those that would come into your home.

You can both sign it, you could use it as a way to celebrate an anniversary, or you can do it this weekend as a testament to your commitment to each other.

    This depends upon the person’s love language too. My dh would look at me strange if I presented him with this! I think most women would love it, but I’d be just as pleased if he were able to do me a small service, like one of the “fix-it” jobs that are constantly waiting for attention. Those little things mean a lot. I guess what I’m trying to say is words are nice, but in the long run, it’s the actions backing them up that mean the most to me.

    I guess you’re right there, Mary. Different people will take this differently. I think it’s nice, though, to both have the visible testimony/reminder as well as the actions to back it up.

    I like this idea, probably because I love words. I also think it would be nice to have our vows put onto parchment paper, either via computer or calligraphy, and then frame them and hang them next to my bridal portrait.
