Okay, so, the other day I was thinking, I gotta show my wife how much I appreciate her. I mean, this woman does so much, and sometimes I just don’t say “thank you” enough. So I started thinking about how to do it, you know, not just words, but something that really shows it.
First, I made a list. Yeah, a literal list of all the things she does. From the little stuff, like always making sure there’s coffee in the morning, to the big things, like, you know, supporting my crazy ideas. Seeing it all written out like that, it really hit me. This woman is a saint.
Then, I thought, “Words are nice, but actions speak louder.” So, I decided to take over some of her chores for a week. I did the laundry, cooked dinner, even cleaned the bathroom. Let me tell you, it’s not as easy as she makes it look! I definitely have a new appreciation for all that scrubbing.
Surprise!
- I also planned a little surprise. Nothing fancy, just a nice dinner at her favorite restaurant.
- I even got her a small gift, a book she’d been wanting.
When I showed her the list and told her I’d be taking over some chores, she was shocked. Then, at dinner, when I gave her the gift and just said, “Thank you for being you,” she got a little teary-eyed. We had a great night, just talking and laughing. It felt like we were dating again.
And you know what? It felt amazing to make her feel appreciated. It wasn’t about the grand gestures, but the little things, the everyday stuff. Saying “thank you” is important, but showing it, that’s what really matters. I’m definitely going to keep this up, not just for a week, but for good. Because honestly, I don’t know what I’d do without her. My wife is awesome, and she deserves to know it every single day. It made me feel pretty good, too. Like, I’m not just taking, I’m giving back, you know? It’s a good feeling. I highly recommend everyone does that.
