Come on, guys, put down the remote and consider this question:
What do you think is the most important thing you can do for your woman?
Take good care of yourself – stay fit, healthy and well-groomed? Do your fair share around the house and with the kids? Always be kind to her in word and deed?
No, no – don't reach for the remote just yet. I know all of you wonderful, attentive husbands out there are jumping up and down saying, "That's me! I do all of that!", and now think you don't have to read any further. Fellas, there is something even more important than all of the above:
Understand and attend to her spirit. Pay attention and tap into what makes her, her. Read the article below, written by a fellow author, and published Friday in the NY Times. Then, if you get it, pick up the remote and resume the football game. If you don't get it, perhaps you might want to throw away the remote and sit down with your girl for a little heart to heart.
And so, as another day goes by, I want to thank my husband for always attending to my spirit and considering what makes me, me in every discussion and decision we've made over 37 of marriage, and …I have written. (Now – Let's go Pats!)
Theresa Link is is an accomplished writer. Her words can totally express the human spirit. Enjoy this article, but also read her first novel, just out this summer, Denting The Bosch.
