Little Things Add Up To Big Hugs And Kisses


I'm 50 years old and have been married 29 years.   My husband has always worked hard full-time to allow me to stay home, raise and homeschool our sons, and I've always been grateful for this.

This past week, I was bowled over by an act of love that he did for me just because he loves me (I have followed your guidance to be a kind wife daily!).  

He came home one day and told me about the fresh raspberries he had found, picked and eaten as a snack at work.  In joking tones, I said, "well that's all very nice, but you didn't save me any?"  He just smiled.

He gets up very early, so the next day when I got up, I went down to an empty kitchen but a small pile of wild raspberries on a folded piece of paper on the counter.  I figured maybe he had found some extras from the previous day.  When he got home that night, he told me he had forgotten some tools at his job site the previous day, and got up at 4AM to retrieve them, since it was an hour's drive away, so he could go to the next job site.  He stopped at the raspberry patch on the way, grabbed a handful and stopped home before he went out again - all this before the sun was up!  He did this without comment or fanfare.  Thanks to your influence, I immediately recognized this for what it was - a great husband taking care of his cherished wife.  I think I surprised him with my profuse thanks and kisses for such a sweet gesture.  

Thank you for the constant reminders to be the best spouses we can be every day.
