Love this comment left on the last post:
“I am a bald, pudgy middle aged guy whose wife somehow makes me believe after nearly 30 years that I am the only man in the world. I had never thought of it before, but a great deal of my confidence and the success it has driven in my professional career is the desire and respect I get from her. I think you are on to something."
I hope he brings his wife some flowers next week, or surprises her with a nice dinner out this weekend!
Notice he mentioned his physical appearance, and the fact that he is no Paul Newman, or Brad Pitt, or Zac Effron (depending on your age). Yet that doesn’t ultimately matter to her. He wasn’t always bald or middle-aged, he was her beloved - the one who chose her from among the others to be his. And after nearly 30 years of life together, I image she chooses to still see that guy when she looks at him.
I think it's really important to remember why you said, "I do."
This week we'll be talking here about what the men in the research had to say about their wives' appearance. I know you're interested ...
Rachel, just wanted to let you know that Edie at http://richgift.blogspot.comis celebrating blogoversaries and she giving away free blog makeovers and some other things. You mentioned you would like a makeover so this might be your chance to get a free one.
