What can I do to make my his homecoming a welcoming one? Well, I've already drawn up a list that I've been referring to, and so far it's worked wonderfully except for some minor glitches on my part. Let me take it out again as a personal refresher course in the Art of Hubby's Homecoming.
Prepare the house
- Pick up clutter, sweep the floor, and set out the towels.
- Make sure bathroom is clean and smells great.
- Light up the scented candles!
- Be prepared to have his meals on time and his clothes laundered.
- Comb hair, put on lipstick and spritz on perfume lightly.
- Leave the raggedy t-shirts in the wardrobe (Best to throw it out, dear).
- Put on something cute for the house and sexy for the boudoir.
- No complaining over clutter (Pick it up, don't pass on the negative. It'll make us both feel better).
- Physically love him (Need to work on this!)
- Positively respond to his thoughts, decisions, and words (No more dragging my feet, please).
- Be cheerful!
My trouble is that I tend to be reserve sometimes when it comes to physical affection, expecting him to do all the work then pouting and acting sullen when he doesn't respond the way I expected him to.
I need to work on on being the initiator rather than just a passive recipient. Lest I forget, when I agreed to be his wife, any uncalled for reservation and embarrassment I felt towards him should have been checked at the door a long time ago ;)
