the good wife in me. (again)



Everyday this week, as soon as he walks in the door, run up to your sweetheart and give him a great big hug and a welcome home kiss. Just drop whatever it is you're doing and greet him as soon as he walks in!

( If it's you that "walks in the the door" just run over and hug him anyway and give him a big ole sloppy "I missed you all day'"kiss)

I did this everyday last week and it really helped set a positive tone for the rest of our evenings together. I don't even think Drew realized I was making the effort but it made me feel more loving and like a better wife. And it was nice because after the first couple days Miles joined in on the hugs. It felt good to welcome him home after his long day at a job that's less than his ideal.

I've read somewhere that the first four minutes of interaction after a spouse arrives home sets the mood for the rest of the day/night.  So why not try this week, to make every night together start off with a tender embrace and a sweet little kiss.


Speaking of hugs... One of my favorite websites posted this video a week or so ago and I had to share. It's sure to bring a smile to your face and maybe even a tear or two. I LOVE it.

What, how can they BAN free hugs?! I don't get that at all.
I think you are SO right. I will definitely make the effort and give my husband a HUGE hug and kiss every night this week. Thanks for the idea and reminder, you're fab!
