Does anyone else do this? Each Valentine's Day, and Anniversary I anxiously await to see what my husband has planned for us. Some times (often) he actually does plan something very sweet and out of the box. Other times, finances may be tight or there has been a lot going on, so nothing really gets planned. Ok...before you feel sorry for me, let me get to the point....
First of all, my husband is AMAZING! I love him more and more everyday. I don't know too many people that are as blessed as I am with such an amazing man. What I want to do today is give you another perspective. Why do we expect so much out of our husbands? Why do we expect them to go to the extremes for us ladies, while we do little to nothing? Yes, I normally will do something for him, but nothing like what I expect him to do for me. You know, flowers, a nice evening out, a gift or some combination of that. Who doesn't really want to be knocked out of their socks and surprised with something really special?
Have you ever planned anything really special for your spouse or significant other? I mean, really planned something? This year for Valentine's Day I am determined to not only plan something really special for him, but totally not expect anything in return. I've been working on some fun things and reading old love letters that we wrote to each other while we were dating. I am more excited for Valentine's this year than I have been in a long time and it's not because I'm expecting anything. It's because I am so excited to surprise my husband with something he is not expecting.
So, let's let our husbands/boyfriends off the hook! Really plan something special for him and see how much more in love you fall with him. I can guarantee you that you will be more excited about giving than receiving.
