DAY# 2: He Will Take Her to Do Fun Things

I have heard it said that smiling and laughing more makes a person live longer, so by connection i guess that would make being a grump one of the slowest forms of suicide ;).  Life is full of things to smile and to frown about, to laugh and to cry about, but i think that most people could agree that life's experiences are often what we make of them... In other words we can choose to make life really fun!!!

I am not sure if it is something that is unique to our time or not, but it seems that life has no shortage of stress.  We are all worried about something, and if we don't stop every once in a while and shake it off then we will miss all of the joy that life has to offer.  The man that She deserves will give her opportunities to see the fun in life, he will take her to do fun things, and help make normal things fun!

Yesterday I had a work conference in order to get our distributors excited about a contest that they will be participating in.  At the end of the conference there was a dance, and i was assured by my boss that i would lose my job if i did not help set the example and be one of the first on the dance floor.  So there i was working my groove thing in a congregation of holistic medicine practicing middle aged (or later aged) women.  In between songs i went to visit a woman i work with still sitting with her husband even though the party had clearly begun.  Her friend leaned to me and whispered in my ear, "He (pointing to the other woman's husband) promised her that when they got married he would take her dancing.  Now it's 30 years later and he never has."  

I want to be the kind of husband that makes life a joy for his wife.  Not only should she know that she is his queen, but that she is the friend that he would go to Timbuktu and back again just to make her smile.
