Hey, DB is for life in the sense that you just need to continue to be a strong, indepdendent, respectful and loving husband. That's what it's really all about.

You are the only one who can determine that. It really depends on your W and where y'all are at. If she really likes for you to do that, then sure. If she would tend to see it as insecurity/checking up, then I wouldn't just yet. At least not too much.
But at some point you just need to try stuff and see how it goes over. Less is more in almost every case, I think.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. -- Inigo Montoya, 'The Princess Bride'
