Today is Husband Appreciation Day. Now you may be asking, What?? Do men really need to be told they\u2019re wonderful? Most of us think we\u2019re wonderful\u2026 or maybe all the bluster is just a smoke screen masking a super sensitive, needy human being?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyhow, today is Husband Appreciation Day \u2014 celebrated every year on the third Saturday of April. I suppose wives should appreciate their husbands every day \u2014 just like husbands should appreciate their wives. But what the heck \u2014 seems like Husband Appreciation Day is a day worth celebrating. (Yes, there <em>is<\/em> a Wives Appreciation Day, too.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The role of husbands (like everything else) has changed over the years. Years ago, the husband was probably the only one of the family to earn money to put food on the table\u2026 today, the husband and wife typically both work to meet the family\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all our shortcomings, wives apparently think their husband do <em>some<\/em> stuff right. A recent survey listed the top 5 things that wives appreciate about their husbands: being a hard worker, making their partners feel comfortable around them, making them laugh, being smart, and supporting their partner\u2019s goals and desires.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s interesting that reasons connected to money or household duties were far down on the list. So I guess that means that it\u2019s most important for us to just be smart and funny\u2026. and work hard.<br>Anyhow, I\u2019m sure Claire has a big celebration planned for me tonight\u2026.<br>\u2014 30 \u2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For better or worse, in sickness and in health\u2026 these are the things you say when you get married.
