I dated one guy who would come over and massage my temples and neck when I had migraines. It didn't make the pain go away, but it would put me to sleep. There'd always be a little note from him, too, when I woke up.Keena Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15985958126062809043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-87522198229655884022011-08-18T12:54:48.341-04:002011-08-18T12:54:48.341-04:00Lynne, a dish washing husband is definitely a keep...Lynne, a dish washing husband is definitely a keeper!<br /><br />Jana, my husband cooked for a few days while I was working on the census last year.

He put me in the car and blindfolded me, then drove around in circles to throw me off so I wouldn't have a clue where we were going. We wound up at a restaurant I had said I really wanted to go to. It was a great night.<br />Honestly, though, the sweetest gesture he does everyday is get up from the dinner table and wash the dishes (the ones that don't go into the dishwasher). I never ask him too, he does it as his way for thanking me for dinner.<br />Probably why I've kept him around almost 30 years. : )Lynne Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156587180087372120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-85833404057787828692011-08-18T10:44:43.297-04:002011-08-18T10:44:43.297-04:00I'm here, finally!!

My over-active thyroid gland was destroyed by some expensive radiation medicine flown in from another state in a lead container. The doctor explained that until my natural thyroid levels bottomed out in my system, he wouldn't put me on synthetic thyroid medicine. I had no clue what all that would involve. I gained weight quickly. I had muscle cramps in my feet that curled them, making walking difficult. My hair fell out and my skin broke out in these horrible blotches. I was cold all the time. One day I'd had enough and was into a major crying jag. Calvin put me to bed between 2 heating pads, held me and sang songs until I fell asleep. Then he went out and bought me a bouquet of pink roses and a bag of cream-filled donuts...both my favs. All at once, I saw how blessed I was. So what, if I was almost bald with blotchy skin and unending muscle cramps? I had this incredible man who loved me.Vonnie Davis ~ Romance Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360480832587538895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-15952112991755003792011-08-18T09:47:47.105-04:002011-08-18T09:47:47.105-04:00My husband is not one for "classic" roma...My husband is not one for "classic" romantic gestures, but he shows his love in steady, quiet ways all the time. He recently built me a printer stand for my office and managed to perfectly match the style and finish of my Japanese-styled desk and bookcases.

That makes me all mushy!<br /><br />Gosh, my hubby is so very, very romantic all the time that I kind of take it for granted (and he'll even clean the toilets when I'm too busy.) But it really tugs at my heart when he seeks me out for a kiss goodbye whenever he's leaving the house, and a kiss hello when he returns. *sigh*Laura Breckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622448004680324135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-3529173956360194282011-08-18T09:27:23.039-04:002011-08-18T09:27:23.039-04:00I married quite young.

He got wind of my girlish wish and the week before we married, I received a bouquet of yellow daisies. He's not a real romantic guy so that gesture has lasted me for 40 years!
