You Know He Loves You When…
Sometimes I think that we get it all backwards as wives. We think that if our husband isn’t taking us out on regular ‘date nights’, buying us flowers, jewelry, etc. etc. etc. that maybe he just doesn’t care about us as much as that ‘other husband who’s married to so-and-so’ loves his wife.
Ahem. We’ve all had these thoughts right?
But I think we’ve got it all wrong. Really, any guy with a few bucks in his pocket can pull off gifts and dates, but where love and character really come shining through is during the nitty-gritty of daily life.
Is he willing to get up in the night and help you clean up the sicky mess one of your children just made all over herself and the bed? Is he willing to crouch by the tub beside you and fish out your many, many tubs of wet legos that you’ve just washed for the first time in…several years? Is he willing to rub your back for hours and hours on end while you go through back labor (ouch!)
If he is, then trust me, sister – he loves you with the sort of love that counts. I’ll take help with the legos any day.
(Larry – I love you!)
