1. Tell him you love him/ That is a must.
2. Talk about the future/You can’t move foward unless you talk about the future.
3. Give “just-because†gifts/ I love “just because gifts”. The last one I got was a pink t shirt with a pic of Obama 2 weeks before election day. I can say that I give more “just because gifts than hubby. It’s things for the house. Tools, cookbooks. etc.
4. Keep a sex diary/ Am I too keep the sexy diary in a place he will find it or read it to him like a bedtime story?
5. Take the “happy†challenge/ Can you be too happy that you make others sick?
6. Toast each other/Is the Pound bump toasting? @TheDad, is it called the Pound bump or fist bump. It’s the “White” in me that can’t remember. LOL.
7. Get your picture taken/ Love doing this.
8. Avoid usual topics/ this is a good one. You get to know things you may not have.
9. Re-create your early bonding ritual/We were poor when we met. Don’t want to revisit that. Never mind I am still financilly lacking but so rich in his love.
10. Check on your sleeping children — together/This one is a must. Kids need reassurance from both parents.
11. Plant something/ Being times are different and flouride is in our drinking water, we should still have our own teeth before we die. It would be gross to plant our teeth in the same Polydent glass. LOL.
Sorry for my answers. I get a kick out of my own lame answers. I do crack myself up. I am not a L7 You can’t take all things too seriously. In fairness to me. My kids say “you are granddads child”.
I have read the list and some of these things are ok. However, I truly believe that your number #1 is wrong. Items on the list should be should be shifted down. I celebrate and honor my marriage every morning by praying with my wife. Even though I am in Iraq, I still find time to pray with my wife on the phone.
I think alot of marriages end up in divorce because they lack the foundation on which marriage were built. I am not up here to be a religious counselor. I am not even a preacher. But I do know that a family that prays together, stays together!!!
Good list
@Phillip…I love that you and wife make praying a priority!! Everyone might have different views on the subject but I personally believe that if you don’t keep god in the mix — the other stuff really won’t make much difference.

I may not agree with the war. I don’t even know anyone personally serving. I will say thank you for allowing me to be able to do what I may take for granted. The freedom that I have each day living in the U S of A each day. I am so glad that technology allows you to keep in contact with your wife to pray together each morning. I am sure that although knowing we support you, having a piece of hearing your wifes voice each day must be uplifting. I watch the news and get to see the videos of soliders who can’t be there for the birth on their child but get to see it via web cams. Now that just warms my heart. Stay stong and know that our Country may have our opinions but we are not degrading our Country but upset that this war is on the list of things taking a toll on our own economy. There is nothing we can do about it but support what you do each day. I will add you in my prayers tonight and hope you not only get home safe to your family but your Country.
