Bag the Nag

nagging-wife

“I don’t nag.” Are you thinking that right now? Well, I don’t believe you. First of all, nagging can only be diagnosed by the receiver, so you are unqualified to determine whether you are a nag or not. Go ask your spouse.

Chances are if you are a wife, you have nagged. Why?

Bring Your Sexy Back

lingerie

Forget getting my sexy on. Sometimes, I can’t even find my sexy. When did I have it last? I think it was in the last election year.

But, I guarantee you….my sexy is somewhere and so is yours. Maybe it is under a few extra pounds and has a few new stretch marks, but it is there. Your husband won’t care about the few extra pounds or marks. He’ll just be glad to see you feel as sexy as he already knows you are.

Handmade Valentine’s

“God gave you the gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say “thank you”? – William A. Ward

I said “thank you” to the barista girl who handed me my Mocha Latte through the drive-thru window. I said “thank you” to the friend who stopped me at church to compliment my new ‘do. I said “thank you” to the young man at the checkout who told me to “have a nice day”. I said “thank you” to the stranger who held the door.

Maybe you do use a good number of those 86,400 seconds each day to say “thank you”.

But, when is that last time you said it to your spouse?
