I have been cordially invited to many beautiful weddings and it reminds me that I did not have one. Hubby and I as outspoken as we are dont like to be the center of attention to anyone but each other. It’s amazing how shy we both are. I am a communicater, I start a convo while waiting in a grocery line but I can’t imagine having a wedding with “all eyes” on me. I love the coupons. I use to make my own until I found them online. I gave hubby a handful for Fathers Day. The one coupon I didn’t like was “I will wash your car”. I need to wash my own cars, but if hubby ever tries to cash in on that coupon, I will pay for him to go to the drive through car wash and will be sitting next to him. LOL.

Listening to hubbys heatbeat and a kiss to seal the deal starts my day. After almost 13 yrs. together, I still get butterflies when I hear hubbys truck pull up in the drive way.

Girl, I made up some on the computer. Go to google and type in “templates,” then click on the microsoft office templates and pick “coupons.” Find a look that fits you, then insert your own pictures. I had a BLAST making them up!

Great I am jealous I can’t beat any of you guys.
My husband and I work opposite schedules, my husband and our son are sleeping while I am on my way to work and in the evenings I pick up our son and do all the house chores, my husband does not get home until 12am and by then I am snoring away (lol). We literally just had a long talk 2 nights ago about us not spending any quality time together and have some sort of romance. So we decided, that i will try and stay up at least twice a week to have sex ( I would rather be sleeping) but I guess I gotta do what I have to do to keep my man happy. But I speak to my husband throughout the day, and we never get off the phone without telling each other how much we love each other when are together he is very affectionate, he loves to kiss me and whisper in my ear.

@ Harriet what does your coochie coupon look like I am definetly gonna get some?

When I saw this article, I was like WOW, let me count the ways!!!!

Just to think that we make love ten years later as if it was our first time gives me butterflies!!!!!!!

When we are shopping without our kids gives me butterflies, because we are like big kids with no worries!!!

Cooking holiday dinners or entertaining our friends when he’s firing up the grill gives me butterflies, because he aims to please!!!!!!!

When he quotes something our pastor discussed with us in pre-marital counseling give me butterflies!!!!!!!!

I love my husband unconditionally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Ronnie – We do kiss whenever we see each other, but I wish it wasn’t as perfuctory (sp?) as it is. More like we are genuinely glad to see each other.

I try to call/text my hubby during the day, but I don’t know if he doesn’t like being interrupted at work or he only wants to talk if something’s important, but I always feel like he’s rushing me off the phone so I don’t do it as often.

We gotta get better at the date nights, but I will say that I don’t think we’re doing half bad. I still feel those butterflies

Here is what works for us:

- We still date at least once a month if not more. Go to a concert..a movie…dinner…the butterfiles are definitely going during our dates!!

- We kiss every day!! Lamar does not leave home without a hug and/or a kisss and he gets one when he comes home too. On the days when I don’t get my kiss, I miss it. And yes…our daily kisses may become routine…but I rather have a routine with a kiss and a hug than have a routine that does not include one. I mean why get used to not having physical contact with your husband. You should have some sort of contact every day. If I don’t get my kiss..

- send each other emails or text messages through out the day.. I love you..I miss you..etc. And call when you have a break at work.

- don’t stop holding his hand in the car.. I rub his back, his leg..hold his hand…all of that in the car (while talking and some times fussing with the kids… you have to multi task )

I looove listening to my husband’s heartbeat. One of the best sounds in the world.

And I’m SOOO mad at you about the coupons, girl. I gotta make some for my husband, but I doubt they’d last long. Wouldn’t even be worth the time or the ink. LOL.

How do I keep the butterflies?

- Father’s Day
- Candlelight
- A romantic dinner
- Watching the game with him in my birthday suit
- What goes through my mind when putting our son to bed
- Jill Scott’s “Crown Royal”
- Floetry’s “Say Yes”
- India.Arie’s “The Truth”
- A big bear hug from him after a tough day
- Thinking about him being protective of me when people try to mistreat me
- Listening to his heartbeat
- Knowing how much he loves the Lord, and thinking about how the Lord teaches him to love me
- Coochie coupons (hey…it is what it is)
- When he prays for and with me in the morning and evening
- His poetic music
- etc. etc.

Great article! It really made me stop and think about all the things that make me love him.
