Joel: Husband Numero Uno
When I asked Lina what she was doing this weekend, she told me her husband, Joel, was taking her to dinner tonight at a romantic, little Italian restaurant in Manhattan. “He came home yesterday and announced that he got a babysitter and made reservations ,” Lina said. “It was a wonderful surprise. He planned it all himself.”

I really appreciate that there are still happily married couples still thriving in this world of ours. On our twentieth anniversary my husband decided to surprise me with a trip. I had no idea what he was up to but he went out shopping and bought all new clothes for me and gave them to me the night before we were to leave, all packed in a suitcase. He even bought me a bathing suit! Needless to say, I was shocked. Leaving my five children a lone while we spent four days on the beach gave me concern for worry. But we had a wonderful time and memories that I’ll always remember. Now after almost thirty six years of marriage he’s still a wonderful blessing in my life.

It is very special indeed. My late husband did things like this. Surprising me with concert tickets, trips, etc!
I hope you will join my Valentine’s Giveaway!

It is nice to hear about such romantic doings, especially at Valentine’s Day, which I continue to believe should be abolished in the name of all unattached women. I spent many a Valentine’s day alone, with no tributes whatsoever, and I learned to loathe it!
I am, and have been for some time now, happily married to a man who dutifully brings home flowers or other appropriate tributes on all the special days.(He has learned never to bring candy.) He is not overtly romantic. He never surprises me, and he’s not very original, but he’s THERE! He’s there every night. He’s sober, he pays the bills, and he knows what to answer when I ask him if my ass looks fat in these pants.
I wouldn’t trade Jay Snider for a million romantic surprises.
