I saw myself in something another husband did recently, and I realised many men do the same thing.

A fellow had done something nice for his wife. Actually, it was several somethings, and doing them took a good deal of time and effort. I had heard the wife thank the husband for what he did, but the next day I heard the husband fishing for more thanks.

When I do this, it’s because I don’t feel the appreciation shown was sufficient for the effort I put into whatever I did. I suspect this is about my own insecurity because I know Lori appreciates what I do for her.

If your husband sometimes fishes for thanks, take it as a sign he wants to be reassured you notice what he does for you and appreciate him for it. Being more demonstrative when you thank him won’t cost you much, and it will benefit your marriage.
