I was dared to call my husband sometime during the day for no other reason than to check in, see how he is doing and to ask if there was anything I could do for him.
I do call my husband most days and just check in to see how he is doing. I called a few times today and got voicemail. I left two messages before he called me back and when he did, he told me his day was not going well. I told him I was sorry and asked if I could do anything. He did tell me something I could do when I got home. I was delighted there was something and did it as soon as possible. I texted him the information he needed and he replied ty. Again, my ego would've enjoyed a more eloquent response but our "waffle" men are direct because every concern has a section and place, and I know his thanks was sincere. Silly to mess it up being "spaghetti" woman with all things mushed together, connected and attached with feelings!
What did you learn about yourself or your spouse by doing this today?
I didn't really learn anything new. I was reminded however, of how much I enjoy doing things for him and that I should strive each day to make that call.
How could this become a more natural, routine and generally helpful part of your lifestyle?
By Day 4, I'm getting into a routine - be positive, kind, thoughtful in every deed when interacting with my husband, and I like how that feels. I haven't seen much in the way of reaction from my husband and so I remind myself that this dare was for me to learn and grow and so it's a daily struggle to put myself aside and let these lessons settle and sit with me for a spell.
