Choosing Wisely And Treating Kindly
Dr. Laura:
It was your wisdom and guidance that helped me select and marry a truly remarkable and loving man. But in recent weeks, I had forgotten just how incredible he truly was.
After being let go from his previous job, my husband was hired by a new company. As our little family transitioned from a day shift to a swing shift, and our relationship was tested. I got angry and hurt that he was no longer "romancing" me. That very day, the opening remarks on your program were geared toward helping young women identify all the ways that their man shows them how much he loves them. My husband does EVERYTHING you listed....EVERYTHING! I couldn't believe my ears.
It was more than a wake up call. My husband was doing everything to support our family and to strengthen our marriage. He does the dishes every night, helps with the laundry, feeds the dogs, and quietly tidies up anything in disarray when I'm busy chasing our toddler around the house. I was the one who wasn't romancing HIM!
The next day after hearing your show, when my husband came home at 4AM, I was waiting in the kitchen, hair done, makeup on, a smile on my face and a kiss on my lips. I told him how thankful I was for him and how sorry I was for having been such a brat. The days that have followed have been truly wonderful, and I've seen such an improvement in our communication and intimacy. Thank you for reminding me to treat my amazing man the way he deserves to be treated...and just in time for a wonderful Valentine's Day.
