National Spoil Your Wife Day

How About Dinner and a Mattress?

Did you know Wife Appreciation Day, also known as National Wife Day, is in the third week of September every year? This is a day solely to help married women feel loved and supported. Something we all LOVE! Speaking of being supported, how about dinner and a great night’s rest to celebrate this year? Traditionally, the wife is the last person to consider herself in the household. This selflessness often leads to her practical needs falling low on the list of priorities. This is the perfect time to treat your wife to something that will change her life—a good night’s sleep with a new mattress.

Listening is a vital skill in any relationship. Sometimes you can hear things people are not saying. Your wife might not realize she has an old mattress or sleeping problem, let alone connect the solution that might solve it. Remember, she’s not complaining about anything. But take some time and consider what she isn’t saying. Is she tired? Does her back ache? Does her whole body ache? Does she get headaches? Has she ever complained that she is rolling into you because your mattress is more like a taco than a flat surface?

If your wife is holding tension in her muscles, her body likely needs a mattress that allows her to release the stresses in her mind and fully relax all night long. You cannot overlook the ability to sleep for the recommended seven to eight hours a night. It’s the magic time we need to be our best selves. Wives are in charge of so much, all day, and it takes a long time for them to let go, relax, and sleep well. But when they do, they wake up happy. And you know what they say about happy wives. Happy lives ;)

Five fun facts about National Wife Day:

1. This holiday began in 2006, and it’s celebrated worldwide.
2. This is different from Mother’s Day. You don’t have to include the kids. This is just a day for you to spoil your spouse.
3. National Wife Day is relatively new and there’s no day off at work attached to it.
4. On this special day, the goal is to show your wife you love her and help her feel your appreciation. The good news is, no one knows how to do that better than you!
5. There is no one way to celebrate this day. In fact, all wives are different. You get to showcase how well you know your wife by choosing to celebrate how she would want.

Ideas for a “Spoil Your Wife Day”

No one knows your wife better than you. Think about what she would want and make it happen on National Wife Day! Would she want a spa day, date night, or a girls night out? Would she like to stay in with you playing chef, or go out to her favorite restaurant? Does she love flowers or chocolate? Get them both!

Here are a few more ideas to take spoiling your wife to the next level:

• Let her sleep in: This can be especially helpful if you have young children who are up at the crack of dawn. Help her sleep in by packing the kids’ lunches and taking them to school. Take at least one of her chores off her to-do list, such as feed the dogs in the morning, so she doesn’t have to.
• Breakfast in bed: How often does your wife get a hot breakfast with a smile delivered to her right when she wakes up? Bonus, now she won’t have to take time to feed herself or make her own coffee!
• Take her to lunch: Her favorite restaurant with her favorite spouse sounds like a win/win. Remember to call ahead for reservations.
• Relax at a mattress store: Bet she won’t complain if you happen to take her into a mattress store for her to put her feet up, try out mattresses, and relax in the middle of the day. If she is wistful over a mattress, get it for her! She works hard and needs comfort and rejuvenation. And she might even get a little bonus nap!
• Romantic dinner out: Make sure you choose a dreamy spot. Does your wife value ambiance and mood while she dines on her favorite steak, pasta, or Mexican dish? Your goal here should be to make sure your wife doesn’t have to cook or prepare any food on this day. Pick a place that’s sure to make her fall in love with you all over again. Maybe even go to the first place you had a date?!
• Movie in bed: Encourage your wife to pick out her favorite movie and get comfortable. Rub her feet with some fancy lotion while she curls up on your brand-new mattress. Before you turn out the lights, ask her if there is anything else she wants or needs and get it for her!
• Love to her on social media: Don’t forget to tell the world how much you love, honor, and respect your wife. Without her contributions to your life, your world would fall flat. Not to mention, time hops on social media are a fun way to look back and remember when you did a really cool thing for your amazing wife.

Sleep Well on National Wife Day, Wake Up, and Be Happy

“46% of women lie awake at night because of stress,” according to this article in American Psychological Association (APA) titled “Stress by Gender.” Women also say their levels of stress have been on the rise over the past five years to the tune of 43% higher! Oof!

Some wives will say the only thing they want is to sleep for several days straight. This might be because when they do sleep, they are interrupted by young children, or their bodies ache which gives them fitful rests for short periods. Not to mention, their jobs are stressful on good days. Women take care of so much every single day. The best thing they can do to be productive, bring down the stress levels, and relax is to get a solid good night’s sleep. To do that, it might be time to buy a new mattress.
