As much as you love your husband, you have to admit: you need a girls’ night out sometimes. Or something as simple as a morning jog. Freedom is indeed important to women, maybe even moreso than to men. When you’re hemmed in, given strict boundaries, that’s a recipe for a woman scorned. Don’t ask why; that’s just the way it is.
Do you read fairy tales, for God’s sake? Think Rapunzel. Can you imagine what went on through her head as she stayed up in that tower, all by herself, with no one to talk to? It had to be boring. It had to be madness. The only reason for it, obviously, was the fear of being hurt–and Lord knows the world can hurt.
But you can imagine the major compliment a woman gets when they’re free to enjoy your lives however they want–a bike ride, run, horseback riding, a movie out with the girls, going to a bar with friends, a day at the spa or salon, a massage session, even a day at a hotel free of charge! Yes, the flowers and chocolate are great, but if you’re a woman, think about it: imagine the benefits to your stress with something like all these excursions to quiet the soul, warm the heart.
You would come back feeling like a million bucks and totally ready to treat your husband to the time of his life! Be honest. You’d want to if you were given a little “vacation” of sorts. Most definitely, an easy-going husband will take you far.
