...Plan ahead to have a delicious dinner ready for him...Most men are hungry when they come home and you want to show concern for his needs...Prepare yourself! Touch up your makeup, fix your hair...
Ladies, we can do this! He has just been with work-weary people all day. Be gay! Be understanding...help lift his mood, be funny...he's had a long, boring day...Greet him with a big smile!
Clear away clutter, gather school books, papers, toys, etc. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order! Prepare the children. Wash their hands & faces, change their clothes...
Make him comfortable, Hand him a cool drink. Take his shoes off and give him a foot massage...speak in a low, soothing voice while he relaxes and unwinds...Keep the children as quiet as possible...
Listen to him. You may want to talk, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first. Make the evening his. Try to make your home a place of peace and order where he feels refreshed!
Don't greet him with your problems, or complain if he's late for dinner, or if he never takes you anywhere...Try to understand his world is full of strain and pressure. He needs to relax at home!
'K, I think I can do this...
