I wanted to share with you guys something that Daniel and I started a while ago. I made this board after we first got married (one and half years ago). I saw the idea on pinterest and thought, "oh hey, thats cute"..who doesn't enjoy fun little reminders of why your husband/wife - boyfriend/girlfriend loves you?
Here is the board I originally made:
This board works great for us, and it hangs in the tiny hallway in our bedroom. This frame already had a white board and three frames built in. It was on sale for $10.00 at Craft Warehouse. Then I just picked some scrapbook paper and put that in the picture frame slots. Next I glued on some scrap flowers I had. Then I bought the "i love you because:" decal, and applied it to the white board. In the bottom right hand corner, I put a magnet on the back of three printed out bible verses. These verses are a great reminder of what God expects from us as a husband or wife.
Colossians 3: 18-19
Wives submit to your husband's, as is fitting in the Lord. Husband's, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
Proverbs 18:22
He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.
Proverbs 12:4
A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.
If you'd like to create your own "I love you because" Board here is a FREE way to do that.
I've created a printable that you can simply print out and place into any size frame you'd like. This creates your own erasable board that can be put anywhere ( nightstand, bathroom counter etc.) Here are some examples:
Print it in any size and put it in a frame - the smaller one on the left I taped onto a piece of scrapbook paper to add a little something extra. You'll just need to keep a dry earase marker nearby, then you and your loved one can leave a sweet little message for each other. I love walking past our board and seeing that Daniel took the time to write something sweet on it :)

i've been using a "I love you because" board for almost a year now with my husband. It is a ton of fun, and nice little act of love we can easily do often. I started by writing something almost every day, but I still change it up weekly. Thanks for sharing this!

You're welcome. Aren't they great? It's fun coming up with new fun things to write on there. Even if it is something simple :)
