We'll start a campaign about the little things in love. Call it 'Love Nuggets'. What could go wrong?

What indeed?

Interesting. How does it help, exactly? According to the OnePlusOne charity, such small acts "demonstrate commitment, improve communication, show we care, achieve compromise and even resolve conflicts".

What if you hate each other? Wouldn't it just be annoying? The idea is to prevent the problems that lead to marital breakdown by keeping your partnership strong. OnePlusOne has launched a "love nuggets" campaign, with £2.7m from the Department for Education, to get people to take a more proactive approach to relationships.

That sounds a lot of money. How are they using it? For a start they've launched a website, in partnership with Netmums, dad.info and the Student Room, that includes a "random love nugget generator" to inspire you.

Are you sure? Because I just went and Googled "love nuggets" and found something altogether different. Unfortunately the term does have another, rather less safe-for-work definition.

More than one definition, in fact. The one you might guess - 'balls' - is only the start. £2.7m of public money to get people sniggering.
