My wife has been out of town for a whole week visiting our oldest daughter in Charleston, South Carolina. On Sunday afternoon I will be picking her up at our local airport, and I’m looking forward to it.
You see, I love my wife. I miss my wife. I want her back at home.
I know men who tolerate their wives. I know a couple of men who hate their wives. I’m not like those men; I love my wife.
Why am I telling you this? Why am I writing a blog post about it? Because sometimes a person needs to know they’re loved. Sometimes a man needs to be a man and say, “This is my wife, and I love her.”
No, it’s not Valentine’s Day. No, it’s not our anniversary, or her birthday, or anything like that. I just love my wife, and I’ll be glad to have her home again.
Sir, do you love your wife? Ma’am, do you love your husband? Why not take a moment and say so? I’m afraid wedon’t say it – or show it – enough. Maybe our marriages would be a little stronger and a little sweeter if we did.
I love you, Valerie. I just wanted you to know.

My wife is going away for a week to visit her sister. I would rather she stay home though I know she gets recharged being with her sister. I love my wife.

Just make sure you do the dishes before she gets back. Better yet, just live on peanut butter and crackers, peanut butter sandwiches, and frozen chicken pot pies – all produce less kitchen work.

My wife travels for a work about once-per-month. I’m a wreck when she’s not around. My entire world goes on tilt. We started dating in 1978. When she’s gone, half of me goes with her. Yes, I too, love my wife.
And to add to your comment above, eat over the sink — fewer dishes. 🙂

I have relatives, including my 3 children, who live in that area. I know you are glad to have her home.
