Today I didn't feel very well. I had kind of decided I wouldn't do any housework or cooking. I knew when my husband got home at night he would take care of me, take me out to dinner and comfort me. He is always so loving and understanding...

But then I came across an article from MarriagePartnership.com that read:

"Every day, millions of couples wake up and evaluate their marriages by asking themselves (consciously or unconsciously), "Am I happier today than I was yesterday?" But I think there's a better and healthier question to ask. Actually, it's more of a prayer: "God, how can I love my spouse today like she (or he) has never been loved?"

You know what I've found? This is a prayer God loves to answer, in very practical ways. He delights in finding someone willing to be his agent to fulfill this quest. This prayer has the added benefit of creating an environment for the soul satisfaction that comes from sacrificial service."

So I prayed to love my spouse today like he has never been loved. And I got energies from somewhere to make our home clean and pretty, I prepared one of his favorite meals and even prettied myself and got into a dress and heels.

He was delighted with what he found when he got home all tired and stressed from work. And that was the best reward for me, seeing how my love made him happy.

Later tonight he got all romantic and dedicated to me "Ain't no sunshine"... I love him so very much!
