Happy Husband's Day

   We recently just celebrated, "Happy Husband's Day!"  No, you didn't miss seeing it on your calender.  But I hope one day you will see it there or hear about it in the news.  Hey, if "Talk Like a Pirate Day" can make it on the list then certainly "Happy Husbands Day" is worth considering too.  Especially since participating in this special occasion can bring you and your mate more joy and connection.  And what woman doesn't want a happier home and more fulfilling relationship?! 


  What exactly is "Happy Husband's Day" and how did it come about?   The idea burst into blossom a couple of years ago after hearing my husband chuckle about a radio talk show he happened to be listening to on Valentine's Day.  The host mentioned that Valentine's day seemed more for women then men.  He went on to say, "Why can't there be a holiday for the guys called, 'Steak and  ... day.' "  You get the idea.  I wholeheartedly agreed.   

  I got a pen and paper and made a list of all the things that would make my honey happy.  I selected something from each of these categories; food, love & romance, and pampering.  I picked a day a month away and began to plan something that would knock his socks off.  Actually, I spread it into a couple of days because my life was busy and it made things easier.  My husband was ever grateful for the continual fun.

  My man loves a great steak.  So I prepared a steak dinner and all his favorite fixings and set a beautiful table making every detail extra special.  He also lives for fresh baked cookies.  I baked a batch of chewy chocolate chip cookies the next night.  He was in high heaven the moment he opened the door. 

A few days later I soaked his feet in a tub of hot water and gave him a 20 minute foot rub.  He loves this kind of pampering and turns into a teddy bear.

  Then I did a little something sexy.  He loves lingerie.  I put on my prettiest, sexiest things and took charge of seducing him for a change.  Men love this!  If you want some great ideas read How to Make Love to a Man and The Sensuous Woman. 

 Celebrating Happy Husband's Day every year has become a special tradition in our home.  It does something deep down on the inside.  Aaron feels happy, respected, and deeply appreciated. "For you to plan something special like this just for me feels amazing," my happy hubby said.  As a beautiful bonus,  he responds in kind, and oh how it gets even better and better every year.  My lover makes sure I feel extraordinary too.

  If you have never done anything like this or if it's been awhile, get your calendar and go for it!  Make your man feel like king for the day.  He will love it!  Your marriage will benefit.  And you will nurture a beautiful bond between you.  Plus, planning this event is fun and exciting!   Use your imagination.  Thrill and delight him!
