A Jar of Love

Last Valentine’s Day, I gave my husband a “love jar.” Using my imagination and supplies I had on hand, I decorated a wide-mouth quart jar (an empty shortening can or a box would also work) with red and white lace, ribbon, fabric, wrapping paper, and construction paper to make it look festive.

Inside the jar, I put about thirty slips of paper; on each I listed either one reason I love my husband or a specific incident when I appreciated what he said or did.

My husband treasured this gift—and it helped increase our feelings of love for each other.—Sharla Luker, Salt Lake City, Utah
