Day 1: Date Night
It doesn't have to be extravagant, you could go to a local coffee shop and talk the night away or dress up and have a cozy dinner at home. Be intentional about asking past "how was your day?" and what did you do today?". It's okay to ask about "emotional stuff" with your soon-to-be husband. Date Nights are great for re-connecting and re-kindling during a stressful season of wedding planning. {Long Distance Lovers Like Myself: Virtual Date Night is AWESOME! Get on Skype, eat dinner together and then watch your favorite movie ♥ }
Day 2: X to TEXT
Make it a challenge/priority to NOT communicate via text with your boyfriend, soon-to be, husband call them instead or even better-talk to their face.
The easiest way that my soon-to-be husband and I get into fights is through a miscommunication via text. Now, I'll admit not texting him is a TRUE sacrifice for me I'll let you know how it goes. I probably send him on average 2-300 texts per day. Are you going to do it to? Join me and leave me a comment if you are!
{CAUTION: Please let your significant other know that you are choosing to not text them but instead calling/physically talking to them in case they get worried that something is wrong. }
A few other tips:
1.) Dress up, make it special.
2.) Make dessert something shareable
3.) Don't expect anything in return. (This may be the most important lesson)
Day 3: Cook HIS favorite meal.
It's a small effort but will mean a lot to him. Whoever said "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach" was correct! So don't question the logic, just go with it. However, make sure it really is HIS favorite meal.When my fiancee and I were dating I decided to make chili on the one year anniversary of the night we met. It seemed like a great idea to me, until I had a huge pot of chili and a confession that he really didn't care for it by the end of the night. Live and Learn, and now I don't make chili.

1.) Dress up, make it special.
2.) Make dessert something shareable
3.) Don't expect anything in return. (This may be the most important lesson)
Day 6: Make Sunday a Day of Rest
Choose to make Sunday YOUR day. Do nothing. Curl up together and watch a movie, read the paper but make sure to do nothing TOGETHER. Don't mow the lawn, clean the house, or do any type of work. Make rest your goal.
