Romance Doesn't Have to Be Expensive

Need another idea for your acts-of-love arsenal? Lisa shares the thoughtful experience her husband arranged for their anniversary, emphasizing the importance of intention over extravagance:

I’m going to share a simple free thing that my sweetheart husband did for me on our 34th wedding anniversary. We decided to visit our family for a couple of days. We didn't remind the family that it was our anniversary, nor did we make anything of it.

Unbeknownst to me, my husband had packed up our wedding china and towels and stuck them in the car. When it came time for dinner, he asked the family members making dinner if they would serve it on our plates as it was our anniversary. They were surprised to hear it was our anniversary. They all quieted down as I came into the room to sit down at the table. As I sat down, I was nearly in tears with how thoughtful and sweet this act was. It was an easy and inexpensive way for my man to win my heart all over again.

We are in Portugal on vacation now and listening to you on the web as we drive with our friends.
