Wife & Kids

I told Linda the other day that I loved her even more than Peanut Butter.  For those of you that know me, that is saying something.  My marital relationship, besides my relationship to Christ, is the single most important thing in my life.  Sorry kids, I have loved your mother long before you were born, and it is because of her that you are here.

I love getting home from work and seeing the kids after they have been in school all day and asking them how their day was….

You know what I love more than that?  I love getting home from work and seeing Linda…sometimes I even ask her “Who’s your daddy.” (OK, I admit, you probably didn’t need to know that)

I read a study this morning on what makes women happy in their marriage.  www.happiestwives.org

According to the research that Wilcox and Nock have done, the top predictor of a woman’s happiness is her husband’s emotional engagement.
What does that mean guys? It means listen to your wives, express appreciation AND affection, spend quality time with them. Date your wife: OK, Linda if you are reading this we need to go on a date next week when school gets out.
Don’t worry people, I will call her and officially ask her out….she likes that…
As I referenced in my last post, the kids are going to grow up and be gone from the house one day….I don’t want to have to reintroduce myself to my wife after they leave…I want to be so attached to her emotionally that we can pick up right where we were after our latest date night.

After I told Linda about her being #1 on my list–even above Peanut Butter, I asked her if she loved me more than Dark Chocolate….she hesitated a bit, but told me what I wanted to hear…..She loves me more than dark chocolate and I make her happy…

Have a great week!
