Do This For Your Wife As Soon As Possible

by Leave a Comment

The next time you see your wife, walk up to her, grab her, look her in the eyes and tell her you think she is the most beautiful thing on the planet.

Your wife needs to know that you love her, that you still think about her, and that you want her.

Make this a regular, special thing. Don’t do it everyday, or do, it’s up to you, but make it special. Something that surprises her. You can change it up, send her a text, a letter, a post card, a facebook post, or a dancing monkey with a sign – the point is show her you’re thinking about her.

Now go do it! Don’t think about it, just go do it…NOW!

3 Things That Will Make You Better

by Leave a Comment

Being a good husband and father is a never ending process. There are a few things I try to keep in mind that help.

First, I try to not say “I don’t have time”. Instead I say “I didn’t make time”. It changes the way I think about things. It forces me to prioritize my time and how I want to spend it.

Second, I put me first. I suck at this one. I’m always making sure everyone around me is “okay” before I do anything for me. When I do that I rarely relax and that has a bad affect on my mood and decisions.

Finally, be present, now. I’m enjoying the cup of coffee I’m drinking, I laugh at the silly jokes my son tells me & I enjoy the meals I eat with my wife. It matters, when I think about the next thing I need to do or the work that hasn’t been finished, I miss important moments and my family doesn’t get all of me.

Like I said I try to keep these in mind. It is very difficult, especially when there are deadlines, and stress, and too much to do.
