A long e-mail to get us to communicate better, express how I feel, and a long talk about where we are and where we are going.(10-28)

(10-31) Massaged her feets and did some physical therapy on her foot as she may have a torn plantar fascia.

hi draconis,
i have been reading many of your posts, u r a great person and a wonderful husband!

I have been looking for such ideas to spice up our marriage since i had kids. But, what happens when only one person does such lil things and the other always says "thanks" "I love u" and nothing more??? should i continue to do and stop expecting the same???

After some serious issues a few months back we are working on our relationship again, its hard to find time with two babies, and i feel like we just doing nice stuffs for the sake of doing and dont really enjoy it

any suggestion!

Sorry to use ur thread to post question! U can pm me if u dont want to mess this thread

Spent the day doing everything so the wife could take the day off. Did the house work, cooked one of her favorite meals, did the food shopping and took care of the kids.

This has been great for me because it reminds me each day to do something special for someone I love so much. You are welcome to post the things you do here too.

My wife really likes when I help with the kiddies....

I already do most of the child raising. But it is awesome to hear them talk for the first time or take their first step. Every time they do something I feel like I have done something.

You have.

Being a Dad is by far the greatest thing I have ever done.

Draconis,

I hope your wife realizes how lucky she is. Just the fact that you are going above and beyond to show her your love and make her feel special are admirable qualities. Husbands take notice!!! As for the ladies, we could learn a thing or two as well!

I do think women better comprehend when a guy does something for them. Some guys like flowers and cards, most don't. I think of it like dressing to go out women have so many more choices. When doing something for a partner men have it easy because there are so many things we can do for women. Women have a much harder time because they are so limited. Myself I am a romantic so I like the little things like flowers and such. I use to grow my own roses so again that is a big deal to me.

I never want my marriage to be just there. Every day I thank my stars for my wife. I want her to know that.

Well I gave it a try.

I sent him a short and sweet email just noting that I loved him and appreciated all the hard work he does for me and our son (he works 80 hours a week).

Well, he laughed at me and said I was corny or something like that...

kajira · 11-05-2007, 10:45 AM

I used to keep a journal that I would write in to "him" and we were close enough that I was able to read my thoughts out loud to him ........it made me very vulnerable, however, it was a beautiful thing share....in addition, I would leave cards, etc. in his car to find when he would leave for work, things in his lunch etc....

I realized that my wife over the last week has been doing well in taking care of the house so I told her how much I am thankful for everything she has done. It is easy (to easy) to be critical. I wanted to show her that I was thankful for what she has done.
