What Women Want.
Hi. It's not very often (okay, never) that I gear a blog post toward male readers... But here goes nothing... Or everything, or whatever. Ladies, feel free to forward this to your husband. Because I'm pretty sure he isn't reading my blog. Or post to FB and tag him if you want to be a little less obvious... Knock yourself out. :)
Here is the deal: A wife and mother makes ten trillion decisions in a single day. She decides what to feed the children, what to feed you, and what time to have it ready. She has school decisions to make, work decisions to make, laundry decisions to make. Plans to plan, clothes to pick out, schedules to make. Sandwiches to make....Blah, blah, blah... You get the picture. The list, my friends, goes on and on and on. It may not seem like much, but it ALL. ADDS. UP. Until we want to scream our heads off.
Women sometimes feel like they are starring in the movie "Groundhog Day." Everyday brings the same routine, the same decisions, the same carpools to run, etc... We love it, YES, but sometimes we really love a little change. Every now and then. However small it may be. Shake it on up. It makes us happy. Especially from you. The one we love the most in the world. We love it when you come home from work. Because we've been wanting to see your face since you left and because to speak to an adult is Heaven when you've been talking to little humans all of the live long day. We want you to know that. We rarely say it probably, but we feel it. Every day. And when you bring dinner home or a coffee or even big grown up words to tell us... Well, it is like Christmas morning and Mother's Day all wrapped into one.
So, on Valentines Day, you want to know what she really wants? Ready? She wants to be told what to do. You heard me. Take advantage. This opportunity doesn't come around often. She doesn't want to think at all. Other than about you. Hell, you can even tell her what to wear. (Just this once.) She would LOVE to know what you think she looks good in. Promise. Be bossy.
She wants to be told to be ready at 6:30 and to dress pretty. She wants you to take complete control. She doesn't want to plan a darn thing. She wants to know that you thought about it and would like to spend the evening with her. She could care less where. So long as you picked it. And she didn't have to make one decision. I promise you that if you do this, she will come out of that bathroom looking HOT. And she will have too many butterflies in her tummy to count. She will feel loved and important and wanted. And when a woman feels like that, well. The possibilities are endless. Could be a great night for you.
So go on. Get to planning. It doesn't have to be big. It doesn't have to be extravagant. It just has to be about you. And about her. And about the two of you and the fact that every other day of the year love can get over looked. NOT today. It will not get over looked today.
And ladies, when your husband tells you to be ready, don't go asking a bunch of questions. Don't try to take any control. Don't roll your eyes or act like you act sometimes. (You know exactly what I'm talking about.) He is a big boy. He is perfectly capable of planning an evening without your suggestions and analysis on the matter.
Smile. And be very excited. He loves you. Let him. And love him back. Real hard. No matter how he shows it, be appreciative. And grateful and hold his beautiful hand. And remember why you fell in love in the first place. Before all of those damn daily decisions started complicating your pretty little heads. Be in love. And tell each other so... Just like you used to before kids and questions and worry and chaos.
Happy February. Happy Love.... Hey, and Happy Hot date night!! Make it a good one!
