30DWC - Day 6 - Five Ways to Win my Heart

1. Give me Something - This sounds selfish, but let me explain. I don't require gifts, but when someone goes out of his/her way to get me something just because I was on their mind, it means so much to me. 
2. Spend Time with me - It can be 30 minutes over coffee or 3 hours watching Family Guy episodes I've seen 40 times. I like spending time with people I love. 
3. Let me Vent - Venting is seen as a negative thing usually, but I have to disagree with that idea. At my current job, venting is quite the necessity. I work with children, so I don't want to take things out on them. Therefore, I let off steam to other people (read: David) who don't mind me getting my frustration out. The ability to get annoying things (of which there are plenty) off my chest is so liberating. And I promise, I'll return the favor to anyone who hears my random meltdowns. 
4. Care About Other People - There is nothing that draws me to a person faster than seeing them help someone else completely selflessly. 
5. Believe that God is More Important than Any Relationship - This is specific to romantic relationships, but it can apply elsewhere. Once I point-blank asked David if he loved me more than he loved the Lord. He said no. That's when I knew I would marry him. If you put anything before God, it is an idol, and many relationships drown because significant others become idols to us. I'm so glad that I don't have to worry about that with David.
