Most of the time when Bryan gets home from work I am sitting on the couch on my computer either doing something nonproductive or studying. I generally look up with a quick "hi" and go back to what I was doing. You can see in his face every time that he is tired, and probably wanted more. Because of my selfish nature, I haven't really ever considered more. He doesn't seem incredibly excited to see me, and I'm busy so I just keep the routine the same.
A few days ago I read a post that was linked to this wonderful blog that made me decide to try something new. I decided to give my husband a greeting like I hadn't seen him in months. Today, when he got home from work I literally ran to him to give him a hug and kiss and say hello. I told him how much I missed him today (because I did so very much) and just sunk in his arms for a few minutes. His face was so wonderful. He looked so excited...loved...respected. I have decided that I will try everything in my power to greet him like this everyday. I will also teach my kids to greet daddy like this.
As his wife, it is my job to continually make my husband feel loved, and mostly respected. I'm not very good at it most of the time, but I'm so thankful for a little piece of advice that I think will go a long way.
Today, when you are happy to see someone...let them know. Don't ever assume that someone knows how you feel about them. They don't. Life is too short to not take advantage of telling people what they mean to you. Words like "Thank you.", "I love you.", and "I'm happy you're in my life." go further than you may know.
