Gets home at 1 or 2 am, sometimes. So she said I could rub her feet when she gets home, run a bath, and bring her a glass of wine every night.

Maybe I'll get her chocolate covered strawberries.
I can guarantee you I wouldn't be rubbing anyone's feet at 1 or 2 am. But, you go for it! Yes, chocolate covered strawberries would be great!

Rubbing her feet would get you mucho brownie points especially at 1 or 2 am!!

I have kept all the wrappings with special messages on them from the Dove chocolates that I'll give to him this year. LOL! That's cheap!

I did NOT suggest Duck Dynasty. That was PO's brainstorm. I merely commiserated with ILG's between the sheets idea and suggested a nice dinner first...to class it up.

LOL... too funny! Just was making it as "corny" as possible...

How about this scenario? A nice classy dinner with candlelight (your suggestion)... PO's cutesy dice game with the beautiful song she shared playing in the background... insert ILG's coupon book idea and.... leave the rest to the imagination...

Wash your husband's feet (literally) and tell him all the ways you respect him.
