Fellow CB'ers, 

With all the cynicism that swirls around marital relationships these days, it's difficult at times to know how to take things that your spouse says or does. (For example, when something like, "I'm fine" is supposed to mean a volcano is about to erupt right in your face, so you had better run and hide) I find myself in such a predicament tonight. 

My wife sat me down this evening for a somewhat serious conversation.  She an "assignment" that she wanted me to do for her. 

She explained that she has seen a relationship activity on Pinterest lately where a wife gives her husband a list of 100 different ways SHE can show HIM how much she loves him. The husband is supposed to highlight ten things off of the list, and return it back to her. Presumably, the wife then puts more focus on the ten things her hubby listed for her, and by so doing, their relationship is strengthened. Makes sense to me, although I didn't think our marriage was/is in need of a spark. Then again, we both have a lot going on in our lives right now, so a little more attention to our marriage may be in order; that's what she thinks apparently. 

She said that she wanted to work on being a better wife, and wanted my input on specifically what it was she could do, hence the aforementioned assignment. 

At that point, not having read the list yet, I was truly curious. I tried to protest--that I already think she is a great wife, companion, and best friend, but she wrote it off saying that she definitely wanted me to do this. 

So, I decided to accept the assignment. She added that if there was something that I thought up of that wasn't on the list, I could add it as well. 

At the risk of being bombarded with sarcastic, immature, cynical, and stupid comments on the board, I would like your thoughts. I have linked the original list here, and would invite you guys to read it over (pretty quick read) and let me know what you would choose/do. (For men who'd want to do this for their wife, here is a vice-versa list for her, too.) If you think this is/isn't a good idea, speak up and explain why. Heck, if you think that I just might be the luckiest guy in the world, you're welcome to say so, because I think my already-awesome HCBW scored some major points tonight by merely approaching me with this. 

(Minor side note, I have not selected any from this list, I want to think about this and take it as seriously as she is, so no, I don't know what I will be choosing yet.)

I look forward to your feedback, and til then, Go Cougs!
