Wife Appreciation Month

I have been told that I sometimes lack in the appreciation aspect of my marriage. While I think I'm doing alright, my wife diagrees. As in so many things, my perception is not the most important; if she's unhappy, I'm obviously not doing enough. However, I am not especially spontaneous and often forget to follow through on loosely asssembled ideas. I am a planner and, thus, I am setting up a controlled, defined project. My personal challenge: I must show my appreciation every day this month.

The Problem

Unhappy wife.

The Project

Plan and execute one solely altruistic act for my wife every day from October 3rd to November 3rd (31 days)

The Parameters

• The act must be tangible. No vocal proclamations or verbal gifts. The point is to plan and execute, not improvise.
• The act must be additive. Not doing something she hates does not qualify.
• The act must be out of the norm. Chores are not shows of appreciation; they are things that must be done anyway.
• No repeats. There may be similar acts, but no clones in different media

The Outcome

Undefined, but hopefully positive
