I'm with you BF - I absolutely agree - I WILL NOT TAKE MY WIFE FOR GRANTED.

I'm a Christian, and I think one of the most crucial verses in the Bible for me is "Husbands love your wives" and for me that is about as clear a command as I know.

I love bringing her breakfast or a cup of tea in bed in the morning.

I tend to prefer the Crow lately.

I got a munch of Zale's Jewelry junkmail today, thinking about heading over there and putting something on my line of credit there...

Chad, have you read that in The Message version? (Sorry to hijack on the PA side):

Ephesians 5:23-33 - The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing. So just as the church submits to Christ as he exercises such leadership, wives should likewise submit to their husbands. Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church - a love marked by giving, not getting. Christ's love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness. And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They're really doing themselves a favor - since they're already "one" in marriage. No one abuses his own body, does he? No, he feeds and pampers it. That's how Christ treats us, the church, since we are part of his body. And this is why a man leaves father and mother and cherishes his wife. No longer two, they become "one flesh." This is a huge mystery, and I don't pretend to understand it all. What is clearest to me is the way Christ treats the church. And this provides a good picture of how each husband is to treat his wife, loving himself in loving her, and how each wife is to honor her husband.

How much did Christ love the church? - He spread out his arms on the cross and died for her.....

(sorry to join LU in jumping into the PA side, but I had to add....and he loved her SO much that he rose from the DEAD for her, and lived on, radiant.....)

My wife is amazing - she spent the night in hospital last night looking after our 1 year son who has been very ill (he's OK now, but they're both very tired).

I'm treating her to coffee and snacks in the bath!
