An excellent attitude!
I’d rather my husband came home with a library book he knows will interest me, or gave the baby a bath while I’m teaching Sunday School or leading Cub Scouts. Those things take some knowledge of what I will value. Buying jewelry would require ignoring what I’ve said I value, and I don’t consider that an expression of love.
However, one year around our anniversary (Feb. 4), I saw a pair of silver and amber earrings that I wanted, and he happily bought them for me.
For example, the old "map fight" in the car: As soon as I started to fuss about her map reading, the map went back into the glove compartment. She didn't utter a word. I eventually learned to be sweet most of the time.
Still, she picked my screen moniker for me.
I am sure that God chose this woman for me. I don't want to get the "Big Guy" upset up over the way I treat His gift.
