I read this poem and immediately thought of my husband. And moments later, I thought of you. Follow my lead on this happy wives.
Before the end of the weekend, take a pencil or pen and jot this poem down on a note card or a blank sheet of paper, then address it to your husband. I can just imagine the smile on his face as he reads these words from you:
I PROMISE
I promise to give you the best of myself
and to ask of you no more than you can give.
I promise to respect you as your own person
and to realize that your interests, desires and needs
are not less important than my own.
I promise to share with you my time and my attention
and to bring joy, strength and imagination to our relationship.
I promise to keep myself open to you,
to let you see through the window of my world into my innermost
fears and feelings, secrets and dreams.
I promise to grow along with you,
to be willing to face changes in order to keep our relationship alive and exciting.
I promise to love you in good times and bad,
with all I have to give and all I feel inside in the only way I know how.
Completely and forever.
-Dorothy R. Colgan
Until Monday…make it a great weekend!
