Husband Appreciation Day begs the question: Have you been neglecting your spouse year-round?
The sweet, sultry scent of coffee you smell first thing in the morning. The bed miraculously made just when you go to tidy the sheets. The elation you experience when you open the refrigerator and realize you don't need anything from the grocery store.
It's the little things that keep us happy. And it's all the more true in relationships. But life and work often get in the way and make us think of our significant others as just kind of being there, and as a result we forget to pay them special attention. That's why "Husband Appreciation Day" – coming up on Saturday – might be worth noting on your calendar.
Experts say celebrating days like these doesn't necessarily mean you've been neglecting your spouse year-round. But it's a time to show they are worth recognizing and it's helpful to reflect on your relationship and communication.
