Romance Wednesday: Complex Creatures

Source

 "Men are complex creatures whose ways seem just as mysterious to us as ours do to them.  It isn't fair to accuse them of being unromantic or unloving just because their ways of creating romance and expressing love may be different from ours.  My point is, don't expect your husband to be like you.

Inside My Heart: Choosing to Live with Passion and Purpose

During the early years of our courtship, I was always telling people how unromantic my husband was.  He didn't write me love notes or send me poetry.  And he wasn't into buying flowers except on Valentine's Day.

It finally dawned on me after reading this quote in Robin's book that I had been lying all those years.  My husband was romantic.  He just showed in different ways.  His way.

He was always putting extra gas in my car, making sure it was clean and freshly washed.  He would risk having his manhood revoked by watching The Hills with me. And how can I forget about all the mornings he surprised me breakfast!

I've learned to stop expecting him to do romance my way and allow him to love the way HE knows how.

Bred to be Epic

This post brought to you by Express. All opinions are 100% mine.

I've always know that my husband was bred to be epic.  It can be seen from his epic struggle to survive his bad childhood to his journey of trying to live out of his dreams.  However, what you can't see it in is his wardrobe.  I know it's a pity, especially since I'm such a fashionista myself.  His entire wardrobe isn't all fashion don't.  It's mostly just his jeans.

Seriously, he hasn't purchased a new pair of jeans in ages.  And I'll admit that when it comes to men's jeans I am not the most confident shopping.  I know how hard my struggle was to find jeans that fit me. So, I can only imagine how hard it would be to find the perfect pair for him.  Thankfully, Express jeans are great for suiting all body types.

Therefore, I have decided to take a risk and get him a pair of the Kingston in their Classic Fit style.  He has football player type body and I think the Kingston will be perfect for his shape.   I want to get him a few dark washes for those evening when we are able to go out for a bite to eat minus the kids and a lighter wash to wear everywhere else.

And guess what ladies?  With the Express giveaway your man can be rocking a pair of Kingston Classic Fits too.  So, be sure to have him enter the giveaway for a chance to one win one of fifty pairs of jeans that Express will be giving away.  Don't forget to enter for yourself as well.

So, tell me, do you have a favorite pair of Express jeans?  Which ones?  And what do you like about them?  If you don't have a pair of Express jeans.  I highly recommend that you go try a pair!
