Change Of Direction
Dr. Laura:
Thank you so much for showing me what a brat I've been to my husband. Every night, Monday through Friday, my hard-working husband asks me (a stay-at-home mom) to massage his hands. I say yes, but act as if it's just another annoying thing to do before I go to bed.
Recently, I heard you talk to a caller who wanted to know how to get her hard-working husband to have sex. You advised her to get him into a relaxing bath and tell him that he is her hero. I instantly felt ashamed of not "properly caring" for my husband. I can't believe I didn't acknowledge the act of massaging my husband's hands as a way of showing my love and appreciation for all he does every day.
I apologized to my husband for sounding annoyed, and I have changed my attitude toward the nightly hand massage. I now do it with integrity, love, and appreciation, thanks to you!
