A Valentine's Day Gift Your Lover Will Remember
Dear Friend,
VALENTINE’S DAY 2012.
My wife and I are waiting for our food at RC’s Pizza. I hand her a Valentine’s gift bag. Inside is a journal I’ve secretly kept for the past 3 months. My wife reads the journal as if she’s glued to the pages. Our pizza is brought and it gets a little awkward as my wife continues to read this journal. I’m getting hungry so I start nibbling at my New York style pizza. It’s good.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she gently looks up from the journal with a sly smile on her face, hands the journal back to me… and says, “I want you to keep writing in this.”
My friend, ever since the day my wife read the words in that journal our marriage has never been the same. It somehow reached a level where we are true lovebirds in every sense of the word.
Good thing because just 6 months before… I paid a $2,000 retainer fee for a divorce lawyer. (Once my wife and I decided to stick together I went back to that lawyer and demanded my money back. Why should I pay him if I no longer needed his service? He reluctantly gave me my $2,000 back.)
Words in a journal saved my marriage. Not just any words. Words that were filled with what a husband secretly observed as his wife went about her day. I noticed she washed my clothes, took care of our kid and occasionally gave me hugs. It would take all day to name everything I noticed but I wrote it all in that journal.
The power of those words expressed my gratitude for what I saw. It was a daily record of events I noticed and the appreciation I felt during that period.
Why is this important to you?
Simple. Because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. You can give your love an average Valentine’s Day gift OR you can give an unexpected gift that knocks her socks off. The choice is yours.
AND it won’t cost a lot of money…
You just have to pay attention.
Happy Valentines, my friend.
