Dr. Laura:

Thank you so much for showing me what a brat I've been to my husband.  Every night, Monday through Friday, my hard-working husband asks me (a stay-at-home mom) to massage his hands.  I say yes, but act as if it's just another annoying thing to do before I go to bed. 

Recently, I heard you talk to a caller who wanted to know how to get her hard-working husband to have sex.  You advised her to get him into a relaxing bath and tell him that he is her hero.  I instantly felt ashamed of not "properly caring" for my husband.  I can't believe I didn't acknowledge the act of massaging my husband's hands as a way of showing my love and appreciation for all he does every day.

I apologized to my husband for sounding annoyed, and I have changed my attitude toward the nightly hand massage.  I now do it with integrity, love, and appreciation, thanks to you!

Andrea
