The Kindness of an Attentive Husband

"The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue.  It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, but over and over again - and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife."
~ Barbara de Angelis

The camping adventure on which I embarked this weekend was a family camping event.  But one of my mom friends was coming solo with one child as her husband had tickets to a concert and was taking their other child.  Despite these alternate plans, my friend's husband, a veteran camper, packed my friend's gear and then came to the campsite to set up her tent complete with inflatable mattress.  The next morning, he again returned to the campsite to pack up her tent.  My lovely friend deserves nothing less than an attentive husband, but his kindness was still nice to see.
