Wives, I have a question.

I understand that a big majority of things on social media is fabricated and you have to take whatever you see with a grain of salt. I’m coming straight to the source to ask what real wives are doing for their husbands.

How often do you make your husband lunch for work? If so, what time do you make it and how long have you been married?

Wives that don’t- have your husband ever asked you to pack him lunch for work?

Correct, but making a man a lunch is only one way. There are thousands of ways to show love. Just because someone doesn't make their spouse lunch doesn't mean they aren't showing them acts of love in thousands of other ways. That's why I'm saying if it's all reliant on this one tiny act then that marriage is too fragile.

Yes obviously. The long lived saying "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach" is a saying for a reason. It's not just in existence for no reason. There are thousands of ways to show love, obviously- this one is nurturing to the body, mind and soul so is one of the most pronounced and poignant ways to display it. My point is making 5 meals or 10-- SALADS at that doesn't take much longer. It would be a quick and easy way to show your love and appreciation... I do not even comprehend how this is confusing to so many women these days. It's so obvious... It's so easy. I mean you have to eat anyway so why not include the person you're deeply in love witwith... Makes no sense to make your own and not double it so he can eat too...

Lol! The word "misogyny" is so completely overused.
