It crossed my mind the other day that I only seem to get all dolled up when I'm going out somewhere, even if it's just a short trip to the store. For the most part I just wear comfy clothes at home, no make up, and hair a mess. Why though? Shouldn't I be dressing to impress my husband instead of the mass crowds of strangers at the store?
There's a time old tale about how the man will "woo" the lady he is courting; he will buy her gifts, take her out to fancy restaurants, and even go to the chick flick of her choice. However after marriage he stops doing all these things that once won his true Love's heart. Well what about us girls? When we're dating a guy we will go to great "beauty" lengths to look absolutely gorgeous for them. We will curl our hair and shave our legs just for a night of our favorite shows, buy the sexiest of negligee on the chance that they might get a peek, and we pull out the most fashionable clothes we own to catch their eye. Once we're married it seems we get so comfortable with each other that we rarely do anything to impress our significant others. Slowly but surely we figure our sweat pants are much more comfy for our cuddle on the couch and watch a movie nights, it seems too tedious to curl our hair or shave our legs every day, and we eventually push those naughty undies to the back of the drawer. Shouldn't we as women continue, to a certain extent, trying to impress our husbands? Just because we're married doesn't mean we shouldn't be working to keep that flame a blaze. Just as we want our men to pamper and love us we should be doing the same for them. Ever since I had my youngest baby I haven't been dressing up as much, and when I do go out I rarely put on makeup simply because I am so busy getting my three little darlings around that I don't have much time to get all fancy myself. A few weeks ago though, I was hoping for us to all go to dinner once my husband got home, so I took the time to get all fixed up for my him, and unfortunately he had to work late, but when he got home I was at the door to welcome him home, and he stopped and stared at me. He smiled, checked me out, and looked at me and said "wow". It made my heart skip a beat. I loved seeing on his face at that moment how beautiful he thought I looked. I also love doing nice little things for him, weather it be a small little gift from time to time, or a little note in the morning telling him how much I love him. We all like feeling loved and appreciated, and I know in the hustle and bustle of everything we can tend to let these things go, but it doesn't take too much effort to do a little something special for the ones we love.
