husbands love your wives

When I first got married to my husband, he would get me a card for every occasion. Inside that card, he would write paragraph after paragraph expressing just how he felt about me. Bill was quite the love letter writer!

But I wasn’t. I thought they were a waste of money. $4 for a card? That is crazy. I thought logically – even in college.

Where would I put all these cards? Should I keep them? In 20 years, how many cards would you have purchased? STOP WITH THE CARDS! I know you love me!

And so – he stopped. Looking back. on that at 42, I can see how silly I was. I always had a good man. I still do today. But I silenced him in an attempt to save us a few bucks. How absolutely ridiculous.

Love Changes Over The Years

He doesn’t write me anymore cards and that’s my own doing, of course. I guess it wasn’t my love language. But maybe 20 years later, it is? How different would he be today if I didn’t stop him from writing me those letters all those years ago?

Trying to save money even as a teen. I guess I grew up that way and I couldn’t let it go.

Still snagged him. Still have three beautiful children. But how did I reshape our future by correcting this behavior? I think about that every now and then – especially since I grew up to be a writer and not a computer programmer. I don’t live in a world of logic today. I live in a world of emotion. Funny how things work out.

What would our husband and wife love look like if I just let him be himself?

marital love is special

Anyway – I digress. The point of this story is to tell you that husband and wife love is special. A romance with a wife is decades long. So, it has to be treated like a marathon – not a sprint. You can’t fly off to Hawaii every weekend. That’s just not sustainable.

Instead, just get her a hot cup of coffee every morning and squeeze her butt. Maybe, do the dishes and give the kids their shower. Pick up some Chinese food and freaking vacuum. Then, end it all with a long chat after the kids go to sleep. Sounds like the perfect night to me.

Do you have any husband and wife romance tips? Would love to hear!
