Mother’s Day…

It’s one of those days (kind of similar to Valentine’s Day) where we women heap all kinds of expectations of storybook romance on our precious husbands and then when those expectations aren’t met, we fall into a heap of despair.

Some of us have husbands that are great at intuiting our deepest wants and desires.  These special days begin with breakfast in bed, followed by rose petal trails, ending with horse drawn carriage rides and original love poems.

But the reality is that most of us are not married to natural romantics.

The Happy Hubby is amazing.  He is such a wonderful provider, leader, father/husband, etc., etc.  When it comes to these holidays, though, he simply doesn’t know what to do.  And I don’t really help him out – instead, I just sort of hope he will figure it out.  I mean, we’ve been married for 10 years – doesn’t he know what I would like?

This thinking, sweet friends, usually does not end well for any of us.

My man’s heart is precious – he wants to bless me, but all of my unspoken and unrealistic expectations would make any man freeze under the pressure.

So, this year, let’s give our men the gift of knowledge.

Let’s tell them exactly what we’d like for Mother’s Day.

Good news is I’ve made it REALLY easy for you.

Simply print the FREE Printable letter (download at bottom of post), fill out, and deliver to your man.

The two of you are sure to get a good giggle out of this silly note, but hopefully, come Mother’s Day, it will help you feel appreciated and him feel satisfied that he was able to bless you the way he wanted to but didn’t know how.

Girls, this FREE Printable comes with 1 important disclaimer…

*DISCLAIMER* – EXPECT NOTHING.  Even though (if) you are giving your Happy Hubby this letter, hold it before the Lord with open hands.  Your Happy Hubby may read the letter and have wonderful intentions, but then STILL forget about Mother’s Day or simply not act as you hoped.  I don’t want anyone’s marriages falling apart this Mother’s Day because of unmet ‘checkboxes.’  Got it?!  🙂  Plus, there are always those unexpected moments of motherhood where everyone ends up with the stomach flu on Mother’s Day or something and the whole day is a wash.  This requires faith on our part as daughters of the King.  We must lay our expectations at the foot of Jesus and find our ultimate satisfaction in Him alone. 🙂

Just wanted to hang mine in a place I know he wouldn’t miss.  Ha!

OKAY.
