I hate to admit it, but I’m the kind of wife that moans and groans anytime my husband asks me to do something for him. A request I often get from him is to hand him his water bottle. This is usually when he is just sitting around and doesn’t want to get it himself. My response is usually something along the lines of “You have two working legs, you can get it.” Yup, that’s me. I’ve once heard someone say that a couple should strive to say yes to each other as much as they can.
I was anticipating to be my husband’s little errand runner today. This morning, he made his usual request for his water bottle. I instantly thought “ugh.” After that though, I think he only asked me to do two other things. I was so surprised, I seriously had to remember if maybe he asked me something and I said no without realizing it. No, I’m pretty sure he only asked me for help 3 times today.
I still can’t believe I only had 3 opportunities to say yes today. Most days, it sure feels a lot more than that. Maybe it’s because when I say no, he keeps bugging me? All I know is that I ask way more of him, than he does of me. So why do I moan and groan so much? I will have to work on that.
