Day 102 Honoring My Husband With Playtime

Bryan and I love to travel.  Whether it is a trip to New York, DC, across the country or the world, we like to go.  Our work, life in general and the economy has slowed us down quite a bit in this area.  We used to take at least four major vacations a year and now we take about two and other shorter vacations.  Bryan had been talking about wanting to get away this coming holiday weekend as I mentioned in a previous post.  He wanted to go north and I wanted to go south.  We had the Poconos on the table, Myrtle Beach and a few other options.

When he asked me what I would like to do I stated, well actually I would like to take care of the outside yard.  I thought he was going to have a stroke.  He was adamantly against spending any time cleaning the yard this weekend; mainly because he spent so much time doing this at his properties this week.  His response was so interesting to me because I am the kind of person that will speak of something from a more theoretical perspective and he speaks and listens from a literal perspective.  So although I stated I wanted to clean the yard, I did not mean it actually had to be this weekend.  I have to remember our differences at times like this.

At the end of the day we will be heading south for the weekend.  We decided Virginia could offer us the best of both worlds, a beach, amusement park, shopping and other activities.  So today I honored my husband by planning our playtime for this weekend.   We both are so ready to just be and remove work out of our  minds for a few days.  I am looking forward to both of us rejuvenating and just enjoying each other's  company. 

Wives of the world in what ways do you or can you honor your husband with playtime?  How do you help ensure his and your focus is not all work, work, work but you add a little play, play, play to liven things up?  Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.

Blessings,

Rochelle
