Last week was the first Monday Morning Amour.  How did it work out?  Well, it worked for me, as I got myself motivated to get my anniversary trip planned, and at least two other people told me about romantic plans they made with their spouse.

The winner for last week’s free publicity contest (sending the highest amount of referred traffic to this site) is:  Derek from DerekSemmler.com.  I also have to give Lin from TellingItLikeItIs some serious props for starting a StumbleUpon campaign that sent a landslide of traffic my way.  If the two of you want to send me your buttons or banners today, I’ll put them up for a week.

This week, I don’t have an anniversary trip to plan, so I have to come up with something else romantic to do for my wife.  You can all help me (and yourselves).

Here’s how it works:

1. Decide what romantic thing you’re going to do for your spouse this week.  Could be anything.  From as simple as giving a foot rub to planning a romantic date, to planning a romantic vacation, the idea is for you to do something.

2. Let us know what you’re going to plan by leaving a comment below.  If you want it to be a surprise, then just give a general idea (I’m planning a date), or, if it will help you get rolling, leave as much detail as you want to.

3. Let us know what will motivate you to make sure it happens.  Plan a reward for yourself, or plan consequences if you fail, but make sure that it happens!  My goal as A Good Husband is to help inspire all the guys out there to go the extra mile, and, even more so, to make sure that I go the extra mile.  I want my wife to know that she is incredibly special, and this is a great way for me to do that.

So, this week I will write my wife two handwritten notes telling her I love her.  They’ll be at least a few sentences, and they’ll be legible.  If I don’t accomplish this task, I will give away a $25 SmartyPig gift certificate to one of the readers who participates in this week’s Monday Morning Amour by leaving a comment below detailing what they will do for their spouse this week.

Thank you to everyone who Stumbled, Dugg, and otherwise book marked last week’s post.  Let’s keep it going!
