I picked up "
The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands" for a friend, and then I started reading it first! I immediately saw how I had inadvertently discounted my amazing and patient husband! We adore one another - he is a man of integrity, tough but compassionate, and he has a huge heart. I had been guilty of placing him in last place to tend to the kids, house, schedules, and even our new puppy.
After reading only a few pages, I was in tears as I called to "
check in" and see what he wanted for dinner. I told him that I couldn't wait to just hang out and see him when he got home. He has always been on-board with my being a stay-at-home mom, and he is always there for me. That's all the more reason he deserved more "
TLC" from me, his wife. There aren't many wonderful men like him, and I am so thankful he's my husband. Thanks to you - I am now much more intentional about telling him this and treating him with love and respect and sweetness. While our marriage was still good, I changed MY attitude, and it got a whole lot better. Thank you for telling us girls the truth!
