As the wife of a Certified Public Accountant, I feel like a widow around “tax time” every year. From mid-February through mid-April, Greg will have to work many evenings & weekends to keep his nose above the waterline. But there’s always nights like last night, when he was drowning in Excel spreadsheets to the point that he couldn’t come home until midnight because auditors were coming the next day.

When he delivered this news, I had a choice to make. I could either:

1. whine and complain that all he cares about is work, work, work!
2. give him the silent treatment and pretend it doesn’t bother me
3. put on my big girl panties and take dinner up to his office so he’d know how much I care about him

Fortunately, I chose the latter. When he came home, he was too exhausted for sex, so the big girl panties STAYED on. But his heart was very soft toward me, which for a woman is just as good as sex, right? And sex will be easier to engage in as our hearts remain soft toward one another!

Remember, most men don’t work so hard because they don’t want to be at home. They work so hard because they don’t want to be home-less! They want to be good providers for their family. So let’s cheer our men on and find ways to show them how much we love and appreciate them, ladies!

Wishing you warm hearts & happy husbands,
