@jesfactsmon Hank, what a beautiful post and what a great love you and your wife must have for each other!
My husband is not so strong with expressing emotions but expresses great gratitude when I can give him a great back massage (I’m really good at it and they can last over an hour - he has a bad back) if I’m not in pain. Just because I’m agoraphobic I don’t want him to be but he always asks if he can go out on a particular day or if one day is better than another; it is so kind. If he sees I’m having a particularly bad stay, he stays home with me. He always brings a treat home for me if he does go out.
Marriage is a wonderful thing. I can only hope I pull even some of my share of the weight by the little I can do.
