Married to a Gentleman

I had a visit with a husband of a friend of mine. He said he was taking his wife out for dinner and a movie. I said, great! Have a wonderful time. Spoil her rotten and open all the doors for her. Tell her she's beautiful and hold her hand. He gave me a weird look, then responded....she'll wonder what I'm up to! She won't let me open the doors for her! I said, do it anyway!! I always encourage my friends husbands to go that extra mile for their sweeties.

Well, today I had the pleasure of hanging out with my hubby for the day. Guess what? He held my hand and opened all the doors. He spoiled me many times today! Oh, don't worry, I spoil him too. Anyway, about the door thing....my first instinct is to grab the car door handle too, because I'm a little impatient and I am also very independent. Well, Steve's solution worked well. He simply keeps the car door locked until he can get a chance to unlock and open the door himself. Too sweet, that one! Those guys observing him today hopefully learned something about being a gentleman.

Last night, I saw a Hershey kiss commercial and said jokingly, I want a hershey kiss!! Who has a hershey kiss around here? Anybody? Then I proceeded to tell Steve how Patty goes on and on about how good the coconut creme ones are and how they just recently started carrying them here in MI. Steve says to me, ya really want one of those coconut ones? I said, yeah, but we don't have any. He says, hmmm.... then leaves the room, comes back and slaps a full bag of hershey coconut creme kisses on the counter in front of me. Miracle? It sure felt like it!! I don't think I'd ever mentioned them before!! How cool is that?? I'm sure he felt like a million bucks doing that and I'm glad. Whenever he blesses me, I want him to be blessed too. We're just sickening that way, girls! I guess commercials really work. If it hadn't been for that hershey kiss commercial, I'd never known how cool that was at that moment! Of course, I shouldn't be eating that stuff, but it was a treat, which I allow myself from time to time to time to time, etc... continued on air.

Well, I must go now. It's family movie night and Steve has a spot waiting for me on the couch. Did I mention the peanut m&m's? Those are waiting for me too! I pray the men in your lives are treating you like the princesses you are, whether it's a hubby, boyfriend, father, uncle, brother, men in church, etc... it's a blessing to let them, so please do!

Aww... that's so sweet. :) How long have you been married? I agree... if we strive to serve one another and put the other first, we will all be happy! I'm so glad your husband is good to you, mine is pretty fantastic too... I wouldn't trade him for anything. :)(though he hasn't given me coconut creme kisses.... I haven't even heard of them, have I been living under a rock??!! Gotta try those, YUM!) Thanks for sharing.

Words Matter. Choose them carefully.

A Character that Reveals

  When you love your enemies,  you reveal what kind of God  our God is.  I was thinking today about how stubborn we are as people sometimes....
