After seven years of marriage and two young children, romance is something that we have to work at. It is easy to get caught up in the daily business of making a living, raising the children, and spending too much time on our individual hobbies instead of spending time nurturing that relationship that brought us together in the first place.
However, I am blessed with a husband who, though not overly romantic, does know how to keep a woman happy. He never fails to give me a kiss before he leaves for work every morning, calls me daily from work, remembers all the important dates, brings cards and flowers, and takes me out to dinner whenever I don't feel like cooking. He shows his affection by giving me hugs and kisses, holding my hands even while he's driving, which I remind him to refrain from doing, and is very considerate when I say, "I have a headache." :-)
Coming from an Asian culture where the women serve the men, I appreciate my husband's help with the dishes, with bathing the children, getting them ready for bed and most of all, his philosophy of marriage being a partnership, each partner mutually serving each other, both working towards a marriage built on trust, respect and love.

Yes puteri that's what I appreciate about my hubby. Initially I don't like the way he has to kiss me before he leaves for work, but now I like it a lot. It's just those small little gestures that show the love.
ReplyDeleteBee Ean, I remember what you said about your husband trying to kiss you even before he has brushed his teeth!
ReplyDeleteHaha. I am fussy too and don't want to be kissed if teeth have not been brushed yet, or mouth not washed after a meal! Haha.
Yes, these simple affectionate gestures are the kinds of things that should not be taken for granted.
