Wife Appreciation Day 2024 is on Saturday, September 21, 2024: May 11th is military spouse appreciation day?

Saturday, September 21, 2024 is Wife Appreciation Day 2024. Wife Appreciation Day! - YAY! LiFE! Wife Appreciation Day!

Wife Appreciation Day

There are couple of social clichés rather as entrenched as the encouraging, caring, considerate better half. Yet think it or not, it's not all a huge disadvantage; the bond in between couple runs deep, and it is essential to identify that level of dedication and devotion to a companion. Wife Appreciation Day urges hubbies and partners to stun their partners (well, others) with presents, reignition and most of all, appreciation.

May 11th is military spouse appreciation day....?

We need to be reminded, at times; of the important role we fill for our family and for our country.The funny thing is; most military spouses don't consider themselves different from other spouses.

Other spouses get married and look forward to building equity in a home and putting down family roots. Military spouses get married and know they'll live in base housing or rent, and their roots must be short so they can be transplanted frequently.

Other spouses decorate a home with flair and personality that will last a lifetime. Military spouses decorate a home with flare tempered with the knowledge that no two base houses have the same size windows or same size rooms.

Curtains have to be flexible and multiple sets are a plus. Furniture must fit like puzzle pieces.

Other spouses have living rooms that are immaculate and seldom used. Military spouses have immaculate living room/dining room combos. The coffee table got a scratch or two moving from Germany, but it still looks pretty good.

Other spouses say goodbye to their spouse for a business trip and know they won't see them for a week. They are lonely, but can survive. Military spouses say good-bye to their deploying spouse and know they won't see them for months, or a year, or longer. They are lonely, but will survive.

Other spouses, when a washer hose blows off, call Maytag and then write a check out for having the hose reconnected. Military spouses have to cut the water off and fix it themselves.

Other spouses get used to saying "hello" to friends they see all the time. Military spouses get used to saying "goodbye" to friends made the last two years.

Other spouses worry about whether their child will be class president next year. Military spouses worry about whether their child will be accepted in yet another school next year and whether that school will be the worst in the city...again.

Other spouses can count on spouse participation in special events...birthdays, anniversaries, concerts, football games, graduation, and even the birth of a child. Military spouses only count on each other; because they realize that the flag has to come first if freedom is to survive. It has to be that way.

Other spouses put up yellow ribbons when the troops are imperiled across the globe and take them down when the troops come home. Military spouses wear yellow ribbons around their hearts and they never go away.

Other spouses worry about being late for mom's Thanksgiving dinner. Military spouses worry about getting back from Japan in time for dad's funeral.

The television program showing an elderly lady putting a card down in front of a long, black wall that has names on it touches other spouses. The card simply says, "Happy Birthday, Sweetheart. You would have been sixty today." A military spouse is the lady with the card, and the wall is the Vietnam Memorial.

I would NEVER say military spouses are better than other spouses. But I will say there is a difference. I will say, without hesitation, that military spouses pay just as high a price for freedom as do their active duty husbands and wives.

Perhaps the price they pay is even higher. Dying in service to our country isn't near as hard as loving someone who has died in service to our country, and having to live without them.

God bless our military spouses for all they freely give.

Wife’s with children: Do you do something nice for your husband/father of your child on Fathers Day?

Wife's with children: Do you do something nice for your husband/father of your child on Fathers Day?

We do show appreciation for each other on father and mothers day. It's mostly for the kids sake - they love to do something special for mommy and daddy.

If I were you I would have the kids do something nice for daddy and set a good example for them. It sounds to me like you don't have such a great relationship with your husband but that shouldn't affect your children.

If it were me I would do it for the kids sake. Have them make daddy a nice gift (artwork) and have them help you make brunch or his favourite dinner.

It's more to set a good example for your kids. I would also spend some time talking with your husband about how you feel and work on your marriage. You should be appreciating each other and the beautiful family that you have.

Good luck!

How to behave like an egyptian wife?

How to behave like an egyptian wife?

Hello, Kimberly

It's not about behaving like an Egyptian wife , rather behaving like a good wife. Because a lottt of Egyptian wives don't even know how to deal with their husbands .. and the divorce rate is increasing day after another.

Allow me to copy & paste a previous answer i posted before a more than a year ago

It's important to know how to please ur hubby .... it's a responsibility ... but if u do that with LOVE u'll be happy with such a responsibility

**at home:

try to make him feel like the king (and u the queen ;) ) .... if u know what the word "KING" means in all aspects

show him appreciation for everything he does ,don't belittle anything he's doing

if he brings u sth. u don't like or u think is of bad quality .... don't show that ,on the contrary, show appreciation that he remembered to bring u this ........and believe it or not ,if u really loves him ,u'll love anything he brings u .

be always clean .... make sure the house is clean & smells good

be devoted to him ,loyal ,caring, obedient & faithful .....

ALWAYS SMILE to him ....... really, that's one of the things many wives aren't keen on ; although it makes wonders ...... ur smile can make his day.

care to be always dressed in fresh clothes ; no matter how simple they might be ,just make sure they smell good ......wear perfume

don't complain much ..... be satisfied & thank god for what u have ... don't ask him for something u know he can't provide ..... don't make him feel helpless & incapable of making u happy.

**in public:

show always respect & don't act in an irritating way

by time you'll get to know what drives him mad ..so,u should stop doing it

when in restaurant for example; it'd be better to make him the one who orders & gives comments to the waiters .....u can tell him ur comments but let him the one who addresses the waiter .......unless u know he's ok with ur talking

if u were going somewhere & lost your way ,don't tell him "ask a passer-by " or "ask anyone for the right way" ...NEVER ...they hate it ..lol

**when in an argument :

listen to him carefully & pay attention to his opinon ..maybe u'd get convinced by it

listen to him ,then speak your mind in a decent way; never ever use bad language, cursing or insults

don't speak at the same time while he's speaking (i.e. listen ,then speak)

don't get stick to ur opinion just to make it rules ..NO..both of u should argue and exchange viewpoints

**when in a bad mood:

try to know what's wrong,but if u find him not willing to talk now ,just give him space, maybe he wanna reflect on sth. & rethink carefully.

try to change his mood indirectly, by talking about other things, but if u find him wanna stay alone for some time, just excuse urself & really leave him alone

**when having a bad day at work

ok..same as "bad mood"

besides, you should recieve him DAILY after work with a big smile on ur face & a warm hug & ..... :D

why don't you take off his shoes when he comes back home tired & wash up his feet in warm water while massaging them gently ?!

also, prepare for him a bathtub filled with warm water & his fav. bath gel bubbles ...to relax

some time later in the same day,you may prepare a small snack or dinner with candles & music .......to change his mood a little & let him forget

and always remind him that you love him and won't trade the world for him ..no matter what !

**in the morning:

the SMILE again & the other things ;) :D

if u don't go to work ,still try to wake up with him to prepare his breakfast & say something like "May God protect you,sweetheart, throughout the day" ..before he leaves to work.

by time u'll know his eating habits ; what he likes for breakfast ...how he likes his tea .....such things! make them ready at time

**at night when he wanna sleep :

prepare the room for him (for example; if it's hot turn on the fan or the air conditioner to make the room in a good condition for him to sleep) ..... prepare the bed ..... go with him to bed; there is sometihing called "the pillow talk" :D (i know that from my parents :) ).... that's when the two spouses talk till they sleep ..... talk about anything (but sweet things, not disturbing things or complains) talk about ur daily life,ur dreams, ur plans ....anything that is meant to increase ur intimacy & make both of u feel as ONE.

also,if his body hurts or sth. after a long day ... why don't u massage him ?! that'd be lovely.
