Learning to speak a new Language

I'm reading the 5 Love languages by Henry Cloud and am becoming aware of how often miss opportunities to "Speak" my family's native tongue. Therefore, This week I am recording the various things I appreciate (how my spouse speaks) via "acts of Service.
I'll add to this list as new items occur this week:

Says I love you first thing every morning, makes the bed, brings me my morning coffee, lets the dog out, feeds the dog, gets the newspaper, empties the dishwasher, scrubs the tub, washes last nights dishes that have been left in the sink to soak, makes DD2's breakfast every morning, kisses me goodbye before he goes to work, kisses me hello when he comes home from work, drives us around--church, youth activities, games and meeting, procures UL Tickets, attends various meetings for DD2s sporting events, wants to hang out with my parents, brings home his paycheck, changes light bulbs, takes the trash to the curb, folds laundry, irons his own clothes,

getting DD2 up for school in the morning, cleaning up the kitchen after I cook and this included washing large dishes, cleaning the table and stove top, makes the coffee every night and cleans out the coffee pot before he goes to work each morning, changes DD1 oil before she goes back to college, wants to shop for a new kitchen table (really!) and look at new cars for me, says I love you before he turns off the light at night

allows me to go on trips with our youth from church while he stays home and has the carpets cleaned this weekend (and sometimes I use a week of vacation to do this), hands over his entire paycheck and lets me manage the family finances, delivers DD1 to college and carries up all the heavy stuff, WANTs my parents to go on houseboat and Disney trips with us, talks baby talk to the dog, cleans the outside windos twice a year, cleans the gutters, sets mouetraps and removes the carcasses when necessary, eats whatever I prepare for dinner-and appears to like it, mows the lawn, plants a garden, walks with me during track and cross country season, worries about my health (now if he would only worry about his own), attends church and mens studies,
