When I first started dating my wife, one day while she was on an errand, I washed all the dishes in her apartment. She was thrilled. I found out that one of my wifes love languages is "acts of service" and so from that day to this, washing the dishes has been mine to do. In those days when were first married we washed everything by hand, these days we have a dishwasher. Either way I still enjoy seeing the smile on her face when she sees an empty sink.
