The Importance Of Being Your Husband's Girlfriend

Your phrase about being your husband's girlfriend has really stuck with me, and there are numerous opportunities to practice it!  

With our growing family, it's easy to fall back into bad habits of self-pity or complaining but flipping that switch back to "dating" again has made us happier and way more playful!  A few weeks back, we moved into a new house, and I was not able to be there when the moving van arrived.  When I arrived a bit later, I stopped at the front door before going inside.  I rang the doorbell and my husband greeted me, puzzled why I wasn't coming in.  I told him that he needed to carry me over the threshold first.  I've never seen him grin wider, and he practically jumped through the doorway, picked me up and brought me inside to the confused looks of our 2 and 1-year-old daughters.  

He's always a positive guy, but that day he moved with a different kind of energy.  That night, we kicked our feet up and watched a football game as our kids played at our feet.  My husband looked over and said something I'll never forget.  He said, "This is exactly how I pictured my life."   I plan to work hard from now "until dead" to make him think that every single day.
