Day 1-2 complete

I was presently surprised about what such a little gesture could make such a big impact.
I did not greet my husband at the door as he was off work early and made it home before me, but after I took off my coat I went over and gave him a hug and let him know I missed him today and just wanted a hug from him. It turned into a joking around playful moment...we don't have enough of those these days!

Who knew all he needed was a hug? =)

Later when he went out grocery shopping he came back with a People magazine (my secret pleasure, but refuse to pay for the subscription)Just because....forget flowers...I just want People! It was a nice gesture and let me know he was thinking about me when he was out.

Next mission...dinner. Anyone who knows me knows I hate cooking so this is a big one for me. Make his favorite dish...he'll be shocked. Unfortunately he left for a fishing weekend today so it will have to wait till Sunday night. Gives me more time to plan.

This is getting to be an exciting challenge...I hate to fail so its a fun challenge and I enjoy doing it with other women who are working on bettering their marriages. First thing I wanted to do when I got on the computer this morning was check to see how everyone else's challenge went...especially after mine went so well!

I'm praying for myself and strangers doing a challenge with me. I love the thoughts today on love and respect from http://womensmarriageministry.blogspot.com/
Until last year I never thought about respecting my husband...I loved him and that was enough. I can see the wrong in that thinking now and I believe it makes me a much better wife being aware of it. If I strive to respect him, even when he is being unrespectable I will grow as a person and our marriage will continue to grow. Just as I hope he loves me even when I am being unlovable...although that would never happen...right? =)

(On a side note I have recieved 2 phonecalls and a text since leaving for work just letting me know he loves me and to have a good day)
