One of my friends told me about one of her friends who got engaged. Her fiancé sent her a lovely text and she gushed about it to everyone. The thing is, my friend’s husband sends her gush-worthy texts like the one the newly-engaged girl read all the time. She realized that she doesn’t gush.

Her realization got me thinking. I often forget to gush about the amazing things my husband does. It’s so easy for me to get caught in a trap of expectations. For example, have you ever heard a woman talk about a date and say, “…and he even opened the car door for me!” I have heard this before….but guess what – My husband does that for me every day, every time we get in the car. Every time.

Don’t forget to gush!
