Have you hugged your spouse today? Did you say, “I love you” to him or her today? Did you give your husband or wife a hug, a kiss, a pat, a squeeze? Did you put your arm around him or her? If not, go find your mate and do any of the above or use any other loving gesture or expression you like to let your spouse know you are thinking about him or her right this minute. Then, do it again either immediately or later in the day or evening. Twice on Sunday will help make up for any times that you may have missed throughout the week for whatever reason.
Sometimes, we just can’t be with each other or things are just crazy. When those times arise, we have to make up for those missed opportunities. Some of you may know that my husband travels with work at times. When that happens, he often returns on Sunday, so this one is pretty easy for me. In fact, he usually gets attention more than twice, because I’ve missed him. Sometimes, I just have to stop what I’m doing and go hug him because I’m so glad he’s home.
It does not necessarily have to be Sunday either. If another day is better for you and your spouse, that will work too. It just seems like many people have more time then. Saturday may be filled with errands that cannot be attended to throughout the week, but many people manage to find at least a little down time on Sunday.
Of course, you might want to wait until whatever sporting event he’s watching is over before planting a big smooch on your spouse or wait until she’s not up to her armpits in laundry or giving one of the kids a bath. But, with 24 hours in every day, you should be able to squeeze one in somewhere. And, don’t forget, twice on Sunday (or whatever day works for you).
