“Love Tank” Talk: The Five Love Languages
JBM-HH ACS Classroom, Bldg. 201
After the first or second year of marriage, when the initial "tingle" is starting to fade, many couples find that their "love tanks" are empty. They may
have been expressing love for their spouse, but in reality they may have
been speaking a different love language. The best way to fill your spouse's
"love tank" is to express love in their love language. In this class, we will
discuss the "love tank" concept and how couples can apply this to their
relationships confidently and without judgment. For more information or

It’s one thing to say, “I want to lose weight.” It’s a whole other thing to
say, “I’m going to lose weight by jogging Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, and by only eating fast food once a month.” Meet your goals in
increments. Instead of vowing to lose 15 pounds by July, vow to lose 2
or 3 pounds each month.
2. Get your finances in order
Shred that credit card! Ease up on the compulsive purchases. Get a
cookbook and visit a grocery store. Check your credit score and correct
any misinformation. ...and definitely start saving. Set up an automatic
monthly transfer from your paycheck into your savings account.

3. Turn your smartphone off more often
Engage with the people around you and pledge to give the messages
and emails a rest. Give yourself a time frame; “For the next hour I will
not pick up my phone for any reason, other than if Grandma calls.” It
won’t kill the person on the other end - promise!
4. Support local mom-and-pop shops
Consumers hold power. Small businesses rely on them! Get to know the
small business owners in your neighborhood and support their shops.
It’s a great way to get involved in your community.
5. Be more honest
Be honest with yourself. Be more honest with others.
6. Watch less TV
It’s simple: read more. Reading will expand your vocabulary, and give
you something else to talk about at dinner parties other than the dog or
the weather.

7. Get a hobby
It doesn’t have to be an expensive one. Do comic books tickle your
fancy? What about board games? Or how about bird watching? Visit a
local hobby shop or search for hobby groups in your area.
8. Get more fresh air
It’s important to get outside more often. According to Prevention, kids
who get more “vitamin G,” a shorthand way of saying more time in
green spaces, have less stress, perform better in school and have fewer
ADHD symptoms.
9. Get more sleep
Plenty of rest is known to boost memory, spur creativity, reduce inflammation, improve performance at work and school, lower stress and
improve attention, among other things.
10. Eat healthier

A simple rule of thumb is this: When you look at your plate, you should
see multiple colors -- greens, oranges, purples, blues and yellows. Eat
your greens, control your portions and, most importantly, dare to try
new things.
GOOD LUCK!
