Love coupons

The set up for this activity is to prepare 5-25 cards for each couple with needs and wants they have from their partner. The example could be I want you to cook dinner one night this week. Or I want you to play two rounds of scrabble with me sometime this week. The cards need to be created by each partner and they need to pick the same number. These cards can be vague as well, such as surprise me with touch five different times this week, making your partner be creative and really think about what you need or would like. This coupon system is a creative way to remind our partners about our needs and wants. It seems as relationships get older they start to get to comfortable, and things we really enjoyed or needed from our partner starts getting forgot. This is a way to communicate need in a fun playful way and a good reminder to engage more regular with your partner. You can mix up the coupons each month to new or different needs, helping teach your partner what is important and needed to make you feel loved.

These needs can be created from ideas from your love language.

According to author Gary Chapman, there are five love languages. Our “love language” describes how we receive love from others. They are:

Words of Affirmation – Saying supportive things to your partner

Acts of Service – Doing helpful things for your partner

Receiving Gifts – Giving your partner gifts that tell them you were thinking about them

Quality Time – Spending meaningful time with your partner

Physical Touch – Being close to and caressed by your partner

What is your love language?
