My hubby and I celebrated our three years of marriage this past October. Although we've had our ups and downs I do know this to be true: Men need and want to be loved.

Not only that, but they need to be reminded.

Marriage is like a box that you deposit little love bombs into. When you are always doing this, always depositing, your hubby will feel it. He needs to also do his part by adding his deposit of love into this box.

Times will come, moments, arguments and you will want to look into that box of love bombs and take out a few as reminders of how you and your hubby really feel during times of trial.

When Jason and I were having communication issues, we decided to have a "counseling session" at church with a friend. Our counselor has been married over 40 years and we trusted he would help us out a bit.

One of his tips was to send loving text messages to each other during the day. Enter: love bombs. Enjoy the list!
