Good neighbors ard hard to find for sure. Now I have a question for you...it is more something to ponder, During your marriage how many times did your husband take out the trash cans. Did you ever think of making him that special meal as a thank you?

Now that sounds preposterous, right? I would bet that there is a deep reSentiment flowing with husband not feeling appreciated over the years. Now this goes BOTH ways without a doubt. Something to think about for the future interactions and the like with your husband, showing appreciation for things he will do.

It can start small with thank you so muches when dealing with son. This is precisely what folks around here are getting to when we talk; treat him like a friendly neighbor.

I will be honest. I did not show my wife enough appreciation for ALL of the many things she has done for me, kids, family through the years. Nor did she...nowhere near enough as far as I was concerned. When I figured it out, our marriage was already on deaths door.

It has become a daily focus to tell her, show her how appreciative I am of all the things that she does. It is contagious BTW showing people thanks. I even see them do the same to others. Guys at work, wife, in-laws. It is definitely something to think about as a 180 for the future.
