If you are married...............

[Dean Parisian]

Most married couples seldom compliment each other on anything. Every time they talk to one another, it's to criticize or simply to pass on information. This isn't how love is supposed to be. How often do you encourage your wife? Tell her she's a great mother? Or how about how good she looks in that outfit?

Make a mental note to compliment her at least once every day on something different. You'll find the whole tone of your conversations with her beginning to change, and, as a result, your marriage will experience a rekindling of affection. Try it for a week.

Wow!! What a great post. I, for one, don't compliment my wife enough. She is a fantastic person and I know she doesn't receive enough "atta-girl"s from me. We take a lot of things in our lives for granted. Our wives should not be one of them. They can be gone in a heartbeat and most of us would be lost without them. I am going to show this post to my wife because it is so ironic to see it today. We've had this same conversation over the past couple of days. It's funny how things pop up in the most unexpected places. Great post!! and THANKS!!!!

See my reply to the "looking for a girl in a red ford" post over on the general forum.

I bought my wife a new pitchfork and a pair of gloves once.


Seriously, my wife is my hero and I tell her that often. Maybe not often enough, though. But I really did buy her a new pitchfork once. And seven purebred heifers that she considers to be her diamond ring. She was thrilled with both.

Hey the $7000 worth of heifers was her idea. The pitchfork I thought of on my own.

I bought my wife laundry baskets for are first Christmas...
Big mistake

I was out pike fishing when my first child (daughter) was born....
Bigger mistake

But I am still maried. I am taking my daughter bow hunting for elk this year.

I go hunting with my whole family. All five of us. My wife stays in camp and cooks and cleans. lol And my kids go with me hunting. They do the calling for me. It is hard but I love it.
