Activity:
Play "spin the bottle" and have whoever it points to share a way that they can show love in our home.  (sharing, saying "I love you", giving hugs, letting someone else go first, listening and being obedient, being reverent, forgiving, etc.)  Then that person spins the bottle to see who will go next.
