E-Mom,
I love the wink! That is a wonderful gift and so is words of praise. Most guys don't get much at work, so when we as wives support them, it makes all the difference in the world. Great post!
Love #8! I'm training my sons in this also. I always say, "Do you think you're strong enough to lift this for me?" And when they jump at the chance, I say, "Wow, you really are a strong guy!" They're pleased as punch with this little exchange!
I love this list! So simple yet powerful. I'll try to give a few to my husband today.
We are on the same wave length, many of the same gifts. Great idea and thanks for hosting. Hope your Christmas is wonderful!
Lifting something heavy! Heehee! I'll have to think of something that needs moved after supper tonight.
I love your list, and I concur that there are several on here that my guy likes . . . #6 and #10 being high on that list. As a matter of fact, I think the rest may not matter if #10 happened all the time! ;)
I love how you put in the wink! very creative....and as for the perfume...my hubby is allergic to almost every scent I buy so I've learned to stick with the fruity ones rather than the seductive ones...sigh...my link is up, my post was posted at 5 a.m. and now I'm linking it up on FB. I don't do Twitter so....love love love your list.....and we both listed walking and back massage! Happy MM!!
I don't think we can ever adequately put to words how important our words of praise are. For all the marriage reading and ministry I've seen men always say that is key to oneness or isolation. Wonderful post!
Comfortable silence walking together, totally romantic:)
Oh and shared on facebook:)
E-Mom,
