If you are asking it means you want to know what they want, you want to make them happy, you want to make sure it isn't a waste.<br /><br />Have you never had to ask someone what you could do to help them? The most common home teaching/visiting teaching phrase is "Let me know if there's anything I can do for you." That's asking what you can get someone.<br /><br />We absolutely love Amazon wish lists. If you get either of us something off our lists we'll be beyond happy about it.<br /><br />Asking what you can do for someone does not mean you don't care.Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00650933140736435170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-505756339288246815.post-36212047084488396772012-02-15T16:55:46.331-07:002012-02-15T16:55:46.331-07:00We feel that Valentines day is pretty much the mos...We feel that Valentines day is pretty much the most useless holiday ever created. Also, I am so sick of single people feeling justified in being ultra cranky for that day because they can't get their crap together and be happy. (yes, I may know way too many people like that...) <br /><br />VD is just another day in our home.

My husband kept being all apologetic as he was taking me out and buying me the chocolate I wanted as if it weren't enough. I think men feel a lot of pressure but really if a wife is pretty much happy every single day of the year then I don't think a man has to do much on Valentine's day to make her happy. Basically, if I can buy whatever I want the rest of the year, if he takes me out to eat a lot, if he spends a lot of time with me on a regular basis and takes me on vacations and the kids on vacations then I'm pretty happy all the time! LOL. Not high maintenance or anything. You were smart to realize early on what your husband did and did not appreciate.Heatherlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355263068372248035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-505756339288246815.post-61564631035263426342012-02-14T17:47:49.769-07:002012-02-14T17:47:49.769-07:00I love to hear how your love language has evolved ...I love to hear how your love language has evolved over the years.

I don't even mind sometimes telling him what I would like or expect for a certain holiday, but for some reason if he asks me, it ruins it.
