Happy Monday, Love Geeks! ❤️🧪 It’s time for your Weekly Pattern Check in The L.O.V.E. Lab! Last week, we explored Operating Emotion—recognizing the feelings beneath our reactions. This week, let’s explore V — Values & Vision, the structural side of the L.O.V.E. C.O.D.E.™ framework. 🔎 Weekly Pattern Check | Are Your Actions Aligned With Your Values? ❤️ Love by Design begins with intentional choices. We often talk about what matters most in our relationships—respect, honesty, connection, consistency, and emotional safety. But here’s something worth examining: Do your everyday actions consistently reflect the values you say matter most? For example, you may value communication but shut down during difficult conversations. Or you may value quality time but rarely make room for it. Recognizing the gap between our values and our behavior isn’t about shame. It’s about reclaiming our agency and choosing differently. 💗 This week’s reflection: Complete this sentence in the comments: “One relationship value I want to be more intentional about practicing is ________, and one action I can take this week is ________.” Remember, Love Geeks: Healthy relationships aren’t built on intentions alone. They’re strengthened through intentional actions. Let’s keep building love we both want to come home to. ❤️ — The Marriage Pastor & Coach Shavon

This week, don’t just notice what you do—get curious about what you’re feeling underneath it. Think about a recent moment when you reacted more strongly than the situation seemed to require. Maybe you became defensive, withdrew, over-explained, got irritated, tried to control the outcome, or immediately went into problem-solving mode. Now ask yourself: ❤️ What emotion was actually operating underneath my reaction? Was it fear? Rejection? Embarrassment? Disappointment? Feeling unheard? Feeling unappreciated? Something else? You don’t have to judge the emotion or solve it today. Just name it. One of the ways we stop loving by Default and begin loving By Design is learning to recognize what is operating beneath our behavior. Drop yours in the comments: “When I ________, the emotion underneath is often ________.” 🤓 Love Geeks don’t just ask, “Why did I do that?” We get curious about what was operating underneath it. —The Marriage Pastor & Coach Shavon
