FAQ's

• Does "Acts" just mean doing more chores? Not at all. While it includes practical help, it’s about thoughtful service, doing things you know will specifically make your partner’s day easier or brighter.
• Do we have to do the prompt immediately? Some prompts are quick, while others might require planning. If you draw a card that requires more time, schedule it for later that week to ensure it gets the attention it deserves.
• Can one person use this deck to surprise the other? Yes! While designed to be used together, one partner can easily draw a card in secret to find a meaningful way to serve the other unexpectedly.
• Is this deck useful if Acts of Service isn't our primary love language? Absolutely. Learning to serve one another is a universal way to build "relational equity" and reduce stress, regardless of your primary language.
• What if I'm not "handy" or good at tasks? The prompts vary in nature. Many focus on thoughtfulness, organization, or simple gestures that require heart and effort rather than specific technical skills.
