This Club Just Keeps Growing
Did you know the Happy Wives Club has been growing recently at a rate of 75-100 women per day?
One of the things I love most about this site, as well as our Facebook and Twitter pages, is when I pose questions like this to other women, it requires that I also self reflect on my own relationship and my own husband. And every time I do that, I realize just how blessed I am to be married to Keith.
Many times, we focus on the big things our spouse does and forget about 
the smaller, more mundane tasks, like taking out the trash, working hard each day to provide, being the protective covering over our home, taking the car for a smog check, just to name a few.
This weekend, Keith looked at the stack of papers piling high on my desk and decided I needed a new filing cabinet. But he wanted to get one that would match my office furniture perfectly. Since the only one he could find matching that description assembled was over $600, he did the unthinkable. He bought an unassembled wood filing cabinet.
Now, that may not sound too bad but for the fact that this cabinet seemed to have 1,000 pieces. And to top it off, the instructions were not that clear. The entire living room floor was covered in parts for this 3-drawer filing cabinet. I offered to help, but as most hubbies would do, he kindly declined.
So I asked if I could watch a movie I’d just gotten while he worked. And of course, the movie I
wanted to watch was a total chick flick, Sweet Home Alabama. So this poor guy is trying to figure out how to put this file cabinet with way too many pieces together while being forced to listen to Reese Witherspoon and her hunky southern costar play cat and mouse games in the background.
This was certainly not his kind of movie. But he knew I’d been looking forward to watching it, while spontaneously bursting out in random song and dance every now and again:
Sweet home Alabama, oh, sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue and the governor’s true
Sweet home Alabama, Lordy
Lord, I’m coming home to you, yeah yeah
Keith is such a loving and accepting man, so he just shook his head and gave me his, “only my wife” signature smile and kept building. When he finished, I had the most perfect filing cabinet that will help me organize the mess on the left-hand side of my desk. And he had nothing but the satisfaction of doing something kind for his extremely grateful wife.
So as we kick off this fabulous week, I’d love for you to share with us a small (seemingly mundane) thing your husband recently did for you that made you smile. What small act or gesture fills your heart with gratefulness at its mere thought?
Until tomorrow…make it a great day!
