Inexpensive Valentine Ideas for Wives

Ah, it’s that time of year again. Love — or something that smells of perfume, chocolate, and money exchanging hands — is in the atmosphere. So, what to do, especially if your budget is hovering between a pack of gum and a movie rental?

Here’s an idea to help you communicate your affection for your spouse in a simple, effective manner: Walk around naked. (Prancing and other gross motor movements will also, most likely, be appreciated. Adding that “come hither” facial expression will be taken as a bonus.)

Yes, I know this caused many eyes to pop open, probably including my mother’s, but I think men will quite like it. So often we, as women, worry far too much about our appearance, and it hinders the romance, as it were, in our marriages. But most husbands don’t have the critical eye we do for our own imperfections. For them, it is more about the fact that we want them to see us naked and that their advances will be welcome. A little lingerie never hurt, as long as the intent is eventually to have it lying discarded on the floor or elsewhere in a secluded area.

Oh, and I’ve heard that watching an action movie with Hubby now and then is a good idea, as well. Probably, though, the above suggestion would be greatly received and appreciated once the movie is over. …

About Jennifer

I’m Jennifer Dyer, AKA Jenn, Mom, Ma, Aunt Jenn and Woof (translation: Feed me, human mom!). Although I love to chat with friends, host casual events at my house, read, and write, most of my hours are spent solving carpet crimes, chasing my daughter with autism, cleaning an endlessly messy house, carpooling with my tween daughter, baking desserts, and looking for my keys. Hubby recently had an opportunity to move home to Texas, so we are thrilled to see our niece and nephews on a regular basis. In 2010, God granted me an extension on my life after a bout with cancer and surgery complications, through which I gained a greater appreciation for life, family and people. Motherhood has taught me more than I ever imagined, including unending love, picking my battles, knowing my limits and when to be tough—although I am still learning this—and navigating through a maze of toys and laundry in the dark. Before I wore a motherhood cape, I worked as a speech-language pathologist and traveled with hubby. Although having a special needs child seems to have grounded us from traveling and changed our entire world, we are learning to make adventures out of each moment, laugh whenever possible, and look forward to the greatest destination ever: Heaven, where I will see my Savior and no longer have to scrub carpet.
