Creative Space Online Counseling Services

WORDS OF AFFIRMATION: “I like to write love notes or express my appreciation on index cards at night—taping them to the mirror (and in his truck) so when he wakes up he finds them when he leaves for work. It makes for a better day!” —Amanda
ACTS OF SERVICE: “My boyfriend bends to help me put my shoes on whenever I take them off when we’re together and it’s time to go. I have never asked for this, but it feels so beautiful that he does it. It brings back wonderful childhood feelings.” —Maryamu
RECEIVING GIFTS: “There is a particular flower vendor in a city near our home. On occasion, when my husband happens to be in the area, he will stop and buy me colored roses. He knows I'd rather have a dozen colored roses that last 3 days than two dozen red roses that last 2 weeks.” —Janice
QUALITY TIME: “My younger sister and I would go on frequent walks in a big field on our property on nice evenings. Then we’d sit in the grass and talk to each other, tease each other, and have fun together like sisters do. It was a really good way to spend quality time together and make good memories.” —Lizzie
PHYSICAL TOUCH: “In a long distance relationship it’s often difficult to provide physical touch. So I tried to be creative with my partner. I purchased and sent him a gift-wrapped weighted blanket to wrap up in to feel like I’m cuddling him. Also, inside the box was a gift card to a massage I had already scheduled. He just needed to show up. We’ve made it a ritual until we get to see each other.” —Toni

WORDS OF AFFIRMATION: “Our wedding anniversary is a July 11th. So, anytime we see 7-11 on a digital clock we remind one another. Even when we are not together, one of us will text the other, ‘7-11’. No matter what’s going at the time, it makes me feel good even for a moment.” —Charles
ACTS OF SERVICE: “I love to sew and embroider. While doing laundry, I noticed some holes in some clothes. I put a patch in my dad’s work pants and darned my sister’s favorite sweater. Both of them were very happy to receive their clothes back unexpectedly repaired and now whenever they wear them, they’ll remember I love them.” —Maggie
RECEIVING GIFTS: “My husband knows I love surprises so when I came home from a girls trip he surprised me with a hotel room for the night so I didn’t have to go back to reality for another day.” —Calliope
QUALITY TIME: “My husband likes to fish. I think it’s boring. So, I take along a book or craft that I can do on the bank while he fishes. Always quick to take a break from what I am doing when he has some action on the line, because that is what demonstrates that I care about what he is doing.” —Becky
PHYSICAL TOUCH: “It can be difficult for my oldest daughter to get up and going in the morning. When she’s having a rough time, I often feel my stress rising and then I’m not the best version of myself either. I’ve found that holding or hugging her for a minute right away after waking her can ease us both into a morning filled with more love, patience, and cooperation. 60 seconds can truly make a difference!” —Rachel
