2. Scrubbing toilets, floors and dishes is very, very sexy.
3. A phone call home at lunch just to say hello is sweet and appreciated.
4. Text a love note now and then, it will really make her day.
5. On your honeymoon, show her charts and graphs of your retirement plan. Gently ease her into the idea of saving instead of spending. Be patient. Be patient and then be patient.
6. When she burns dinner or cooks something you're not crazy about, eat it anyway.
Smile and tell her how great it tasted. This will give her confidence to keep trying.
7. If you come home from work and sense that she has been up to her elbows in diapers, housework and chauffeur services, send her quickly out the door for a pedicure.
8. While you are still newlyweds, be willing to work all the over-time you can so that she can quit her job and finish school. At her college graduation she will look at you with tears in her eyes, and thank you from the bottom of her heart.
9. When she is pregnant, support her by gaining weight, experiencing leg cramps, heart burn and nausea.
10. When the newborn(s) wake up hungry at 2:00 am, run to their rooms. Scoop them up and take care of them so that she can sleep.
11. Take her to Disneyland every six months or so.
Take her to the temple once a week.
Take her in your arms each day when you get home from work
and at night when you're falling asleep.
These are essentials and cannot be over looked.
12. Say kind things to her. Make her feel pretty and smart and amazing. This is especially important during times when she feels like she can't do anything right.
13. Thank her for the little things.
14. Agree to only raise your voices if the house happens to catch on fire.
Also, don't hesitate to apologize.
There is great power in the words, "I'm sorry".
15. Support her in crazy ideas like painting door knobs and learning to play piano in her 30's.
16. Celebrate her accomplishments and cry at her disappointments. Be a good listener, even when she rambles. Overlook her many weaknesses and focus on the goodness of her heart.
17. Bring home flowers for no reason,
go on a late night walk
and once in a while, talk until the sun comes up.
18. Kneel together in prayer each night. Thank Heaven for 18 wonderful years and humbly ask for about 48 more.
Happy Anniversary to the best friend I'll ever have.
I love you.
