Amish don't say 'I love you.' Almost never. Words are empty. They show it.
How He Shows
Rises at 4:30 (so she sleeps till 5). Fixes the porch (not broken — she noticed a creak). Brings fabric from market (doesn't ask — knows what she wants after 20 years). Stays silent when she's upset (no advice — just present).
How She Shows
His favorite pie — every Friday (30 years). Shirt washed and folded on the chair by 5 AM. Coffee exactly as he likes (one spoon, no sugar, drop of milk). Never complains (ever — even with 8th child, and back, and winter, and laundry).
Valentine's Day
Doesn't exist. No cards, flowers, candlelit dinners. Every day is Valentine's. Every breakfast. Every fixed step. Every pie.
