My Hardworking Hubby - Part Deux
10/05/2012

Hi Dr. Laura,

Yesterday I sent you an email about my husband, who had just come off a 25 hour shift and stopped to buy and bring me flowers.

Well, last night a couple more things happened, one of which, for me, was a huge symbol of his commitment to our marriage.

When I got home from work, he was asleep. I told you about the state of his hands - how they are a mess from everything he gets into throughout the day at the automotive shop where he works -- but last night, I looked at his left hand and saw his wedding ring.

Seeing that (alongside all the battle scars and marks of his hard work) was incredibly moving for me. Shack-up honeys have no idea what they are missing out on! That ONE image made me feel loved, secure, appreciated, protected, and at one with my husband.

So, knowing that before he’d gone to bed he'd taken a shower and climbed in naked, I then stripped down and climbed in naked with him. I didn't mean to wake him up, but he sure did wake up in a good mood!

Thank you for all you do, Dr. Laura. You've been such a blessing to my marriage, I cannot even express...

Julie
