As parents, so much of our time has to be devoted to the baby. And all that attention can take focus away from our relationship as husband and wife.
My wife and I realize this and have had to get creative to show how we care. But as a dude with a lot of chest hair and not a lot of table manners, romance doesn't come easy. I'm not a flowers on a random day or shoe shopping companion kind of "kind of" man. But I try to do what I can because she's clearly out of my league and so far, I've kept her from recognizing that obvious fact.
There aren't many spare moments in the day, so we shoot each other love notes. Whether it be a text or email, just something to let each other know we're thinking about us as a couple.
And now I want the world to know how wonderful of a wife and mother she really is.
Here's an open letter I sent to her via email today:
Top 10 Reasons Why I Love You
10. You smell good
9. You look good
8. You're hotter than me
7. Your dad makes great ice cream
6. You make me smile
5. You have a bodacious butt
4. You care about everyone
3. You do special things for me even when you're busy
2. You're an amazing mother
1. You're my best friend
How do you display affection to your partner, even when both your lives are chaos?
I'd love to hear from you...and maybe steal your ideas.
