Hey good morning everyone! Thanks for being patient with me while I was gone celebrating my 6th anniversary. I know I’ve made a bit of a big deal out of it and that six years really isn’t all that long, but it’s a big deal to me! I’m glad most of you have stuck around. We’ll have a “what I did on my anniversary” recap later this week.
Now, it’s a new week, and while the anniversary was great and all, it’s all about the new week, right?
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.
This week we are getting ready to move. We’re changing apartments in the city, so it’s not terribly far, but it’s still a move and it’s still a big pain in the booty, so I need to think of something nice I can do for her, that doesn’t cost anything (moving and an anniversary took a little chunk of change).
Later this week, when she’s stressed out because of the move, I shall give my wife a foot rub to help her relax. Foot rubs are one of the things that she loves the most, so I’ll make it a 20 minute foot rub, and that should make her happy.
If, for some reason, I don’t give her that foot rub, then I shall give away two $25 gift certificates to Anthropologie – one to my wife, and one to a lucky reader who posts a comment here on this post. All you have to do is let us know what romantic thing you’re going to do for your spouse this week.
