Mike was sitting on the patio watching the thunderstorm come in and he sends me a text message. Now, mind you, I am sitting in my rocking chair not 15 feet from the open door onto the balcony! And, I might add the windows were open. Instead of just saying something to me, He picks up his phone and sends me this very sweet text message that says
I just called to say I love you.
It made me fee so good, that I just had to get up and go outside and get a hug.
What has your husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, significant other done to make your day?
Have you returned the favor?

My sister's husband does that. He'll be sitting on the couch next to her and he will send her a text. It's usually when they are watching a television show and she won't be paying attention. She thinks it is silly, but I know she also thinks it is sweet. He's a funny guy. Sometimes the message isn't loving, it's just plain goofy!

Let me tell you an even better one than that! Last night, Kristen's boyfriend was over at the house after church. They were sitting here on the couch watching a movie and Kristen got up to go get something out of her room. Jon leaned over and took my phone from me, and proceeded to send Kristen a message with MY phone that said "Wanna run away together?"! She was in her bedroom and she called back "Mom! You're crazy!" He asked her to go to his truck and get something out for him and sent her another one that said "I"m watching you!"
All night long he kept doing it. We were all just rolling!

So sweet!
I was only reminded of something that I wanted to write soon after I read your beginnig lines about text message. Normally, when my son is at home and he is working on his laptopin the hall I fool around in the computer in another room.Suddenly Ill see him online on GTalk and send a message saying'How are you? hehehe' with a giggle.OR I would ask him if he is well/ when will he come to eat-all 'important' questions like these and follow it with a silly giggle. He says I can never be reformed.

It is great fun fooling around on the net like this with children.I always feel that we all need the lighter aspect , to keep us going.So, you are on Facebook too?I am also there with the same name.
Your discussion inspired me today and I sent amail to my husband [who is sitting in the next room with a silly 'hehehe' message.]he is normally the serious type who, we[mother and son]take pride in saying has been slightly reformed by us..

That's so cool! See you have to keep everything fresh once you've been married awhile. I refuse to let my marriage get boring. My husband says he's never been tempted to browse elsewhere. I intend to keep it that way for another 20 years!

I love doing that to my kids. I will get on Facebook and write on their walls when they are at home and in their rooms on the computers. You can always hear them when the messages pop up "MOOOMMM!" followed by laughter. When they had friends over, they were all in the room and had their laptops and were all online playing games against each other. They were laughing so hard and you could hear things like GOT YOU! coming from down the hall.

That's so kool! I was going to say Hubby and I don't do any of those sort of things except hugs and kisses hello and goodbye, but actually we do now that I think about it. Been together 35 years. There's nothing better! And just a little bit of reaching out keeps it fun.

I hear people who have been married for 4-5 years talking about how boring and routine their marriages have become and they just can't stand to be with that person anymore because the spark is gone. I've learned after 22 years that you have to create spark! People change, and you have to adapt and change with them. I'm no where near the same person I was when Mike and I got married in 1986!

my hubby and i both work outside of the house (i work 3 days a week and he works full time); we have been married for 21 years and we send an ecard (free) to each other every week day. (we use hallmark and dayspring). its a nice way to let each other know we are thinking about them.

Awww! I hadn't thought about doing that. It's a great idea. My husband's job ties him to the computer for many hours during his work day, so that would be a neat surprise for him. Perhaps then he would return the favor! I love getting e-cards. One of the older ladies at my church will send me one quite often and it just makes me feel good!

I think what your husband did was nice...very nice. I think we women just like these sweet little little stuff that our husband does. And we women with just one or tow or three loving words like that can just make our day - women !!! ahahha!!. My husband does send me these stuffs too but not when he is so near me or when we in the same house. He will send these when he is out or out of town.

My friend Kerry was talking to me on her house phone the other night and she started laughing. When I asked what was wrong, because what we were talking about wasn't even close to being funny. Her husband had e-mailed her from his laptop in the livingroom to her laptop in the bedroom to ask her how long she was going to be on the phone!

That is very sweet, it seems we often forget how much the little things mean to us. My husband seems to do things like that off and on, leaves me notes in places that I don't always look for things in, and then when I open up that cabinet or drawer, there's a note saying things that are sweet, or something corny that only I would understand.

Isn't it funny how each married couple has their own little "Sayings" that have hidden meanings that only you and he know what they mean! My friend Leah was telling me that her husband can look at her and say two words and she will turn 18 shades of red and choke no matter where they are. He sometimes does it to her in public just to watch her get strangled. She won't tell me the two words or what they mean, but I'm waiting for him to do it when we're around. I'll bet there is a story there!

carpenter5,
I got the florist for a bouquet to her office and just got off the horn with her
. She is just baffled who's her secret admirer
! Her co-colleagues are just as baffled and throughout lunchtime they were like guessing and trying to spot this "guy" at their usual eating place.(Side plot: I've gotten the florist to sign off that little card as a secret admirer.)
I just told her to dress up for who knows "he" might just appear and ask her out for dinner. [Chuckles... as the plot thickens.] Having plenty of time to spare this evening, I think I will go along the lines of small and unique for this weekend's gift (on your advice, of course).
Let's just see what happens when she discovers this life long admirer.
Cheers.

My hubby has a wonderfully young looking face. I absolutely love it. At 40 he still gets carded. This he doesn't appreciate. So he allows his stubble to grow for days and days. How he makes my day..the rare times he shaves "just because' not because I have begged, or nagged or asked. He did it just for me.

Thanks to both of you for your responses. My husband has a fairly young face as well, though he doesn't get carded (He's 42)except at Walmart where they card everyone that looks below 40. In his case, it's most likely because he's 6'6 and weighs 250 pounds. He's a BIG guy.

That is so sweet.
Today, my husband got off of work early due to the nasty weather. He knows that my routine when I am home and he is not is to write and clean the house. Normally, if we are alone in the house, and the kids are at school, he will not leave me alone.He;s not being mean at all, just wanting to be very affectionate at times when I am trying to write, needless to say, it is very distracting. Today, he let me write and go about myroutine without complainig at all. He just used the time to play his video game. To return the favor, becaue I knew that he really wanted to spend time with me while the kids were at school, I wrote a few articles, which didn't take very long, then, I devoted the rest of the time without the kids to him and "us" time.

I love US time! We try to do a date night at least once a month. It's easier for us now, because all the kids are grown and out of the house most of the time. Two of them live with us when they aren't in college. They are usually home about two weekends a month. Sometimes the same weekends, sometimes not.
