Email of the Day: I Got Good Marriage Advice From My Dog!

Written by Dr. Laura | 6/15/21 8:15 AM

We have a black Labrador who is joined at the hip to my husband when he is home. Before my husband even pulls into the driveway, the dog is already at the window, barking and yelping. As soon as the door is opened, she runs out to greet him, nearly tackling me in the process. I know that a dog is supposed to be man’s best friend, but I wanted some of those “warm fuzzies” too. That’s when I decided to begin greeting my husband in the same way as the dog did!

 

Now, when he pulls into the driveway, I drop whatever I’m doing and rush to his truck before he gets out. I let him know how happy I am that he is home and I help him carry his things inside. He loves the special attention and warm greeting. It’s a wonderful way to start our evenings together!
