It’s always amazing to me when you get to have a day where your significant other just spoils you with a loving response! Recently on a date night (I have written about date night before, if you have followed along we always ask each other an important question and we both have to answer our own question honestly as well as the other one). My husband asked what he could do more of at home or in our relationship. Funny thing is here? He ALREADY knew the answer, because we have a little bit of a tiff about it the week before, LOL.
I work from home so I take on the primary responsibilities of the home. The laundry, most of the shopping, the cooking, the cleaning…. you know where I’m going. (When did I become a house wife…that isn’t on my vision board!) Sometimes I’ll just ask him to do some little simple thing and he answers in a way where I feel I’m putting him out. And the funny thing is I’m the primary breadwinner in the house, on top of it LOL! I get it I work from home, I don’t have to put up with the corporate bull, I know get the opportunity to run my schedule I’m not stuck in traffic like he is. But when I ask I’d just appreciate a loving response.
So that came up on date night. And he knew the answer as I said! Fast forward to the Sunday following… he’s building my boxes in the garden and he’s also decided to make the soup for us to eat for lunch this week. While he is busting his butt in the garden I say that I’m in a go in and get the chicken roasted for dinner, and he looks up and says: “I’m going to do that.” I’m like shocked!
The chicken!!
Guess what? He roasted the chicken, he made the soup, he finished the boxes in the garden, AND he got me flowers and a massage that night! Now ladies that’s what I call foreplay! Honestly, we have to be willing to tell the person we love what we need, and I think most of us know that, but we also need a place to talk about it so a loving response is the outcome.
