Strengthen Your Relationship With A Love Map

What is a Love Map?

We started building our love map on our 5th anniversary and have been working on it since. We fill it out on road trips, valuable time to get to know each other. It's so much fun, and challenging. I learned about a whole new side of her, and she learned new things about me too. Best of all, now I know what gifts she likes!

Love maps are always fun to explore. For relationships that are struggling, they also help redirect focus on the good things and bonding. My wife and I found common ground, and also differences in our taste preferences. These differences created exciting opportunities to learn more about how she thinks. I feel that I know her much better from doing our love map!
