21 Ways to Appreciate Your Wife
I have been blessed to have married a wonderful guy who has taken care of me for the past 35 years. I always hear, “You have Gary…” yes I have Gary who shows me how much he appreciates me.
To celebrate National Wife Appreciation Day earlier this week, I made a list of the things he does to make me feel extra special.
- Lock the front and back door before he goes to bed to make me feel safe.
- If he leaves early in the morning, he locks the door, showing he treasures me.
- He makes family dinner time an important value and is a role model for talking at dinner with our family.
- He clears off the table and doesn’t leave the kitchen until the dishes are in the dishwasher and all the food is put away. The kids can’t leave the kitchen either.
- He’ll come home from work and announce, “I am home darling.” I run to him and give him a big kiss to start our evening out with a fresh, beautiful start.
- He twists off jars and lids for me without complaining.
- Takes care of paper jams in the computer with patience.
- Takes care of technology “issues” with a smile.
- Stays in shape so he doesn’t spend money on health care and so we have more money for family travel.
- Washes my car without asking.
- Puts gas in my car without asking.
- Leaves work at work.
- Cleans the toilets and shower. Divides the housework so I’m not the family housekeeper.
- Puts the toilet seat down after using. (Gary bought an automatic one! J)
- He is a role model for our kids. He puts clothes away, in the wash basket, and is neat to teach our kids how to be responsible human beings.
- Leaves love notes when I least expect them.
- Writes welcome home signs and post on the back door!
- Makes plans with me, not without me.
- Says he’s sorry and means it.
- Shows me he appreciates me more with his actions than his words.
- He’s affectionate and hugs and kisses me and doesn’t always expect sex.
Remember your love life starts in the kitchen when you come home from work.
I can’t wait to hear your ideas how you feel appreciated or how you appreciate your wife.
Love,
