Hello to all,
It is Valentine’s Day. It is when men try their best to romance their wives, girlfriends, or soon-to-be girlfriends. They pull out all the tricks they know to impress their woman. We men, not being very creative, resort to flowers, dinner at a fancy restaurant, and a heart-shaped box of chocolates. It is too dangerous to try anything more than the basic tried and true method of wooing the love of our lives.
Around our house, I am known as Mr. Romance. (I hope my wife didn’t roll her eyes too hard so she can continue to read this blog.) Regarding romance, I fall short of most of the stories I read online. I tried when I was younger, but I think spending in excess on one day of the year and doing nothing compared to the other 364 days is silly.
I try every day to show her I love her. I fail sometimes, but I think about her and do little things to show I care. It might be simple, like getting her chai tea ready in the morning. Or it may be a grand gesture like cooking a meal she mentioned not having in a while. A quick back rub always brightens her day.
All this being said, it is good to show a grand gesture of love to your wife once a year. However, being a pragmatic and frugal man (Tammy spells both as C-H-E-A-P), I wait until February 15 to show my romantic side to my wife. The stores offer dinner reservations quickly, half-price flowers, and heart-shaped boxes of chocolates at ninety percent off.
A meme about how to win your wife is making its way around the internet. The speaker spells out about twenty ways to show romance to your wife. These include talking to her, taking her out, and going to the ends of the Earth for her. Then, he tells women how to win their husbands, show up naked, and bring food. It is meant as a joke, but there is truth in it. I suppose that is why people find it funny.
I am looking for ARC readers for my unpublished book. If you want to read my latest story, don't hesitate to get in touch with me at dannymac@dannymacauthor.com. I can send you the story in PDF, Epub, or MOBI.
Grace to you,
Danny Mac
