^^^ Yes, this works too, but I am usually not acting crabby, I am crabby. She also gets the side benefit of not putting up with my snoring while I'm gone. Apparently I snore like a chain saw.
You'll get some leg tonight for shorrr David Lee Roth You guys are good. Thanks for the inspirations and ideas. So far I've thank her for doing the laundry and folded the load out of the dryer. If that counts, the day is young
Some are a little PG13 Most are just thanking her for things I take for granted. We work together 24/7 so sometimes we get wrapped up in work and forget we're also husband and wives. My big thing I started was hiding her notes all over the house when I leave at 3am to hunt for the day. I'll leave her 4 or 5 little post-its in places I know she'll go ie. tea box, spoon drawer, car seat etc. She loves "Words of Affirmation" so she gets a big kick out of finding notes that I made the night before. She even saves them so sometimes I'll recycle them
That is a great idea ... I will always leave A note out for her and the kids (kid now), but to hide them for her to find ... great thought! I watered her plants for her last night.....talk about brownie points
I sent mine an e-mail and asked her what she was cooking for dinner? I think she's playing hard to get cause she hasn't responded yet.
Thanks. It's challenging because I try to find new spots all the time so she IS surprised. I'll get texts on stand " I found a note!" or "I found three notes so far" then she always wonders if she found them all Sometimes it's the little things that count. Simply going on about how good she cooks or how lucky you are that she keeps your home so nice and clean etc. Like the movie "Fire Proof" I was spending to much time on "none family" web sites and blamed it on my wife's lack of interest being as high as mine for being intimate with each other. I've found that like in the movie, now that I'm being more loving towards her she is MUCH more loving towards me hence I never need to clear the history on my computer anymore. Life is good
I could care less if they promote same sex marriage. Have you ever bought a diamond ring? If so, it probably links back to Africa where white diamond mine owners used basically slave labor and unsanitary work conditions to harvest those gems. Many mine workers lived and died in horrible work environments. Or have you ever bought your wife anything made of gold. That gold can more than likely be traced back to Mexico where the Spanish Conquistadors decimated a population, enslaved a civilization, and used the proceeds of the "stolen" gold to invoke world dominance for some time....and I could go on and on. I may buy stock in Ben and Jerry's.
I called her today and let her know I have to work tomorrow. Then whined because I was planning on putting trail cameras out and wanted to go scouting in the evening. She still felt sorry for me and she wasn't in my plans if I had the day off. Now that is love you wann-a-be romeo suck ups !!! :p Tim
Seriously... my posts on this have been in fun and mocking you guys... so you know. I don't believe you should be showing affection to your wife just to get brownie points for hunting or anything else for that matter. Your wife should be the love of your life and your best friend. She should be the one you trust the most with every aspect of your life. She should be the first one you turn to when good and bad things happen. She SHOULD KNOW she is the most important person in your life. She should know she is needed everyday and I am not talking about cooking and cleaning. Needed as in the biggest part of your life to make it happy and complete. People are happiest when they feel they are needed. Remember that !!!!! You should know this before you marry her. You should know her before you marry her. If you don't have 100% trust in her... marriage isn't going to fix that. If you can't communicate with her while dating... marriage isn't going to fix that. If your friends are just as important to you as her... marraige won't fix that. She will eventually make you choose which she shouldn't had to. You failed. You, her and your kids comes first... not her family or your family. She and you should both know that. Her or your family SHOULD KNOW THAT !!! Without a good foundation going into marriage... you can suck up all you want. You will probably be paying child support and alimony in your near future. While loves notes and flowers might please your wife... I know what pleases mine. Thank God it isn't love notes and flowers. Tim
cheers buddy, no offence meant just thought id do you the courtesy if it did mean something to you, if it doesnt then thats you business, have a nice day
Well said and all true, its just sometimes we forget to show them their our best friends and love of our lives. I'm not trying to get brownie points to hunt, I'm reminding myself to do what I said I'd always do before we were married.
Today I'm making my wife breakfast then taking her to a seminar by the author of The 5 Love Languages.
Taking her out for a night on the town. My plan is to get a little drunk and let her take advantage of me
My wife is running out to hang out with her sister all day today. So I got the kids and it is 1000 degrees outside so we are kind of shut in. Unless they drive me too nuts and we go to Cabelas or something just to waste time. I have to fly out at 5 am tomorrow morning so I hope they don't wear me out too much.
