Mike,

You and my husband both give sooooo much in the way of acts of service. It is awesome, really.

My husband does so much (and it seems you do, too,) that I don't know how to express the appreciation and awe I feel. In other words, I would be saying "thank you" a million times a day if I made a big deal out of each thing he does. Part of my awe with this is that I grew up in a household where the Mother does everything and the Father just goes to work. So, I'm always grateful for each and every act.

Anyway, I don't know if you feel appreciated by your wife, but I assure you that she does appreciate those acts.

Thanks for reminding me to take a moment this weekend to tell him how amazed I am by him.

I'm not sure in which category I fall, but perhaps that is why I dare to feel dissatisfied amidst all of his efforts to be a great husband. (Then again, no intimacy is a pretty legitimate reason to feel dissatisfied, in my opinion.)

Does your wife like the spa? Foolproof gift for many would be a gift certificate to the spa.

Lucky
