Happy Wife…Happy Life…..huuuummmm?

This is true ya know… we definitely set the mood for our home and those who are in it. So it’s in the husband’s best interest to keep a smile on your face. Not an easy task always, I’ll give them that much.

Sometimes it’s the simplest of things that makes us so darn happy happy happy… things like taking out the trash before it’s overflowing, putting the toilet seat down as opposed to leaving EVERY seat up in EVERY bathroom in the house, grooming the dogs so that they don’t shed all over the carpet immediately after you’ve JUST vacuumed, listen to our endless chatter about our day of grocery shopping and how much you wanted to smack that lady at the store for talking on her cell phone & rudely blocking the isle to the Weight Watchers ice cream selections, and speaking of that honey I am starting a new diet! Now let me tell you all about that for the next 35 minutes… You get the point

There’s other ways they make us happy.. they show enthusiasm when we seem to be all giddy about a new project we are starting (even if they are sure it’s another phase and we’ll quickly grow bored of it) They tell us how much they love us and how much better they are for having us in their life (even though we drive them absolute batty at times) They make you feel like you’re pretty and desired even when you are feeling bloated and hideous… They make you feel like, uh, well “A Natural Woman”

 

Too cheezy? Sorry … I digress J

My point to all of this is we need & want them, We= us womens Them= our mens, to do those things for us, and there’s nothing wrong with that...But in return we need to keep in mind that they to need & want from us also. Because ……………

A Happy Husband Today is One that will Stay

…… Ok, sorry, I’ll stop with the one liners…even though it’s fitting

I’m all for equality and women’s lib and all that jazz. I want to walk BY my husband’s side not behind him. I want my opinion to count and to be heard. I don’t wear petticoats and I don’t always shave my legs (you know so that I don’t poke him to death at night) I don’t always have on a fresh coat of paint when he rises in the morning (you know, so I don’t scare him silly) I mean, he did marry me for better or for worse J

What I do have is a genuine interest in HIS day and sit patiently listening to all the details of how so&so didn’t do his job correctly and that put extra work on his plate and how this machine needed a new thingymabob and that machine broke it’s axel and he had to build a whatchmadoosey. I don’t nag the dickens out of him about the left up toilet seat and the water he left all over the bathroom floor after his shower or about the fact that he washed the dogs using my expensive hair conditioner… ‘cause sometimes ya know, it’s the simplest of things.

There are other ways I make him happy..I show him enthusiasm when he talks about his new project car or garage he’s gonna build (even though I’m sure it’s another phase and he’ll soon move on to another project) I make sure I tell him often how much I love him and how so very much better my life is with him in it (even though there are times he drives me batty J ) I let him know how handsome I think he is and give hugs & kisses out to him like candy. I let him know that I feel blessed when I think about “Us”

“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times.. but always with the same person” …Marriage is NOT 50/50, sometimes it’s 60/40 or 80/20 but a good one will always balance itself out. It’s important not to become apathetic or inattentive to your husband… for if you do, you may just not like what you end up with. And for you hubbys out there same goes for you!

Love one another deeply, Laugh often, Hugs & Kisses should be given without having to be asked for… if you’re not “feeling it” then you need to address it and fix it…
