Contact your spouse sometime during the business day. Have no agenda other than asking how he or she is doing and if there is anything you could do for them.
Some married couples reflect on their dating days and think how being thoughtful and loving came so naturally. She may think how he was so sweet to send roses for no reason or for a special occasion. Lucky for Andrew…I wasn’t a big flower person and I blame my mom. I have to agree that they, especially roses, cost so much money and they die within a few days. However, I’m beginning to love unique, long-lasting beautiful flowers – like the ones you can plant! I really like big, bold lilies (any kind of lilies) or wild exotic flowers…they just make me happy and think of sunshine :) As for the guy...they may reflect on how she used to be thrilled to go out to the games with him or allow him to hang with the guys. Some couples change after they get married because they get into a routine and forget to carry out the thoughtfulness.
Andrew and I did’t want that routine…so we work together to keep up one another’s spirit. There’s not a day that goes by where we don’t call to check on each other. Especially the days I work night shift .We won’t see each other until after 9p 2-3 nights a week. Andrew is literally the best hubby, because he sees how hard I work and appreciates everything about me. When I come home…he’s like a kid running to his mom – only he’s a hubby running to his wife squeezing the breath out of her and smooching her cheeks off. He’s learned to be more gentle now. He will have dinner ready for me when I come home from work at night, cook breakfast for me, and get eggs for me while I’m baking. He’s thoughtful in every way – except when it comes to him and electronics!
We have grown so close, we don’t like being apart. I can’t believe we thought about me keeping my job in Louisville while he completes residency in Memphis. At the time, we thought we could do it and spending more than 3 months apart before the wedding (literally until the day before the wedding) didn’t seem that hard. But after being married for 3 months, living together 24/7 in an 860sq feet apartment, and sleeping side by side – seems impossible to ever spend a day/night apart again. Although, he did leave me for a few days during Christmas break. Now we see how it is not good for the man to be alone – God made us suitable for each other (Genesis 2:18).
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you. ~Philippians 1:3
