Today, it is no secret that a good man is hard to find, but if you have one, are you thanking him for his services or only when he buys you a gift?
Why thank him for doing as he should?
Referring to the clause, “a good man is hard to find”, in the opening paragraph is one reason. It doesn’t matter what statistics show because plenty men do not identify with male as his gender nowadays. Therefore, your choices of heterosexual males are lesser.
You are competing with so many women who are qualified to take your place, so why not tell him thank you? They are certainly willing to do more than that. Consequently, be careful of who you vent to about that man, for she may surely try to take your place.
The second reason you should tell him thank you is because he deserves it. Did you know that every time you utter the words, “I want”, “I need”, or “I’d like to”, he immediately starts thinking of ways to make it happen? For one, he’s actually listening to you. For two, he wants to fulfill your every desire. For three, he’s willing to do whatever it takes to keep you happy because he loves you!
The third reason you should tell him thank you is because God handpicked him amongst many other qualified men to be your soulmate, so tell Him thank you as well.
You may not have been his first, but you wear his last name. He may be your second husband because the last one wouldn’t change. Perhaps he was a widower, so he knew how to treat a woman. Perhaps you were a widow and doubted finding a second husband.
Either way it goes, God shaped and molded him just for you. A little thank you goes a long way, just like the words, “I do”.
It goes both ways….
Now men, before you get all cocky, this goes for you to. Treat her like the queen she is, adorn her with your endless love, and compliment her overall beauty and attractiveness often because if you don’t, someone else surely will.
If you’re not used to doing this now, start trying and see how it changes the dynamic in your relationship.
And remember…
“Make sense of what you do, and make every cent count.”

Something captured your interest? Don’t be selfish. Share with your friends!
Taking the time to say thank you or other words or actions in any type of relationship is a necessity. When you show appreciation it allows your partner to see a piece of your heart your spirit your kindness. We all yearn for that pat on the back from time to time to let us know we are doing a good job! So give that kudos to your partner not only when they have done something but do it out of the blue create a habit of being appreciative through time spent, food, drink, travel, sex, quiet cuddle time … wake up get with it cause the next chic/woman might remind him/her of how dynamite he or she is!
So true!
