C.S Lewis, most famous for writing The Chronicles of Narnia, also wrote a book exploring the nature of love.

He divided love into four parts, based on the Greek word for each different type.

What do you do when you first wake up in the morning?

	Take advantage of the quiet time to organise in your mind what you need to do that day
	Snuggle up suggestively to your partner
	Carefully get up without disturbing the sleeping child(ren) who crept into your bed in the night
	Rush out of bed to get the kids dressed, let the cat out, get your partner's lunch ready and make breakfast for everyone

On a typical day, who could you not go without talking to?
