In a few days Chris and I will be celebrating our 19 year wedding anniversary. While we may not be candidates for the world record – which is currently 86 years! We are glad to have made it this far. One world record that I think my husband may be second in line for is the most consecutive days of bringing his wife breakfast in bed. Every morning, since we have lived together, he has delivered me my coffee and a little treat in bed.
There is something about starting your day off feeling special, and getting breakfast in bed just seems to do that.
Marriage is definitely a give and take, and it’s not 50:50. Depending on the hour of the day it can feel more like 30:70 or 80:20 or 51:49. There are buttons we can push, and times when our needs seem more important than the greater relationship good. However, taking time to do something nice for your significant other can help buoy the relationship through the rough patches.
