Mother’s Day Everyday

At church this morning, my pastor told us the story of the first mother’s day with his firstborn child. As the day went on his wife grew sadder. When he inquired as to why she was upset, she informed him that he had forgotten that it was mother’s day. To which he replied, “You’re not my mother.” Needless to say that was the last mother’s day in which he did not get his wife a gift.
This has gotten me thinking about how certain men treat their wives and the mothers of their children.
On mother’s day, the women in our lives deserve extra special treatment. But how much different should that be then every other day?
I believe that husbands should go out of their way to make everyday special for their wives. If you know your wife is having a particularly hard week, buy her a small bouquet of flowers. If you know that she has been stressed out, treat her to a manicure. If she is harried after running after the kids, give her a break by taking them out for a couple hours while she relaxes. Maybe rent her favorite movie and have a “movie date” after the kids are in bed. Help her out with the chores around the house without being asked. And most important, complement them. Women are meant to be loved and adored.
Maybe I’m just a romantic or maybe I just think that the most important women in our lives deserve more.
