A Dear Abby column from earlier this week about how everyday kindness is the secret to a romantic, successful marriage is gaining attention online.
Do you agree? What kind act do you do for your significant other — or does he or she does for you — everyday?
My husband has sweetly accepted — and embraced — the fact that I need coffee to get my system up and running in the morning. (That must be why I find that silly T-shirt that says, “Instant human. Just add coffee.” so funny.) In the mornings, he’ll brew coffee or will sometimes get a carafe of my new favorite, French press, ready. If he’s in an especially generous mood, he’ll pour me a cup and add a sprinkle of Splenda and a splash of French vanilla coffee creamer. He gets the newspaper for me in the morning, too, although we’re trying to train our golden retriever to do that job.
