How to communicate appreciation through acts of service and words of affirmation?
My husbands love languages are words of affirmation and acts of service...The fist year and a half of our marriage has been a big fight, and we want to save it. I need help thinking of ideas of how to fill his love tank and overcome the huge deficit I have caused. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I hear you! Its hard to learn to speak another's love language. Words of affirmation..."thank you" is a good place to start. I try to tell my husband thank you everytime he does something even if its what we agreed is his responsibility, "thank you for taking out the trash." Anytime he does something right, tell him and praise him for it. For acts of service, I'd just ask him what he would like you to do for him. For my marriage, that's simple stuff like laundry and cooking dinner most nights.
Good luck! Open clear communication is what will help you discover how to fulfill your spouse's needs in this area.

Turn down his side of the bed for him, slip a "I love you and am thinking of you" note in his wallet. Catch him doing things right, and thank him.
You are a wise woman to know his needs. The important thing is to do things slowly, so you can sustain it. If you do a lot right away, and then taper off as things "get better", he will wonder what he did to lose them.
Good luck!

Marriage counseling would be a start =). It will help emotionally and physically. Good luck.
