Act like it is.ß Leave notes on his pillow or in his wallet. Write things like "Come home early. I have a surprise for you."ß Etch your initials in a heart under the kitchen table (or the dining room table if you are really committed).ß Wash each other's hair. Watch Out of Africa for inspiration.Where merriment abounds, there is contentment.

This book is more for a gift as it's one of those "1 page/ 1 Line" books. I knew that from the other review. However, most of the "fun ideas" we already know! I love ideas, but if you're going to write a book, you should have some creative ideas the rest of us don't already know about.
