His love delights

Day 14...Love takes delight
Today's dare: Purposefully neglect an activity you would normally do so you can spend quality time with your spouse.  Do something he or she would love to do or a project they'd really like to work on.  Just be together.   
There are my three favorite words..."Just be together."  You don't have to do something special.  You don't have to be doing anything really, just be together.

I think this comes easier in the beginning of relationships.  You want to spend as much time together as possible.  Yard work, school work, household chores all get pushed to the side because you want to see him or her, but as the relationship starts to age your quality time with each other starts to slip.  Stuff starts getting in the way.  We begin focusing on other things and we often neglect our significant other. 

Ahh, but here is another opportunity to show your partner that you love them.  Choose to do something with your spouse that reminds them that they come first in your life.  Put aside that remote.  Put down the computer.  Silence your phone and just be together.  Let them know that, "I'd rather be doing nothing with you then nothing alone."
