When I was reviewing my yearly planners for our fairytale years in review, I noticed that I had written Nurture the Love on a few random dates. I had totally forgotten that in the first years of our marriage, I created special little holidays that only I knew about.
Here’s What You Do
- Choose three random dates in the upcoming year and write Nurture the Love on your calendar where you will see it.
- Do something special for your spouse or significant other on that day, whether it’s leaving a candy bar in their car for them to find or planning a surprise date night.
I love doing fun, cute little things for Eric, but I don’t always remember to do it! I know it totally made Eric’s day though to find a Milky Way hidden in his glasses case after work (when he was still working a second job).
Do you do fun things like this?
Are you willing to try? I totally want to hear how it goes!

I once made a wall calendar for my husband (then boyfriend) with pictures of us, but I went through every month and put things like “Movie night – your pick!” and “Extra hugs today!” on random dates throughout. It was fun when one of those days came up, just to remind us to treat each other extra special. I just love the phrase “Nurture-the-Love” though – perfect way to describe exactly what an extra little gesture does for your marriage!
I love that idea! How fun. It’s like spontaneous yet planned date nights.
yep…gonna do this! thanks for the great idea!
I love doing little things for my husband, too. I like the idea of picking random days like you suggested. I like to do little things like leave a card on his car seat for him to read before he goes to work in the morning or sometimes I’ll do things like bake him brownies and cut them out into hearts.
Heart-shaped brownies? What a lucky guy!
Oh my gosh this is a great idea!! I forget to do special things too! At least, not often though, ya know?! So this will totally help. And I like how you mentioned that it’s to do something small and special, like a candy bar or a note or something, instead of planning elaborate things. The love is in the details
I’m definitely going to start doing this!
