Welcome to Spice #7: Christmas / Birthday "Projects" My wife is a "Project Queen." That is, my Carol makes her own cards, artwork, sews, even cuts and paints wood. She's amazing, and during the holidays all her friends and family hear from us because she's so organized and so good at loving others via her industrious hands. If one of you in your marriage is the organized and/or talented one project-wise, draw the other into helping out. I may not be much for artwork, but Carol discovered that I'm good at lettering things. So I have a small but useful role at certain times. She's also quite busy with all these projects, and that can make me anxious and a little grouchy ("Where's my sugar, mama? Remember me?"). Instead of getting anxious, I've been trying to learn to jump in with Carol and help out in whatever way I can. Sanding a piece of wood frame, or helping cut out artwork for one of her collages, help me feel useful and her feel loved by me. It
may not be spectacular, but the High Romance really can begin with
something as inconsequential as a pair of scissors or piece of sandpaper.
