About Me: I am marrying my high school sweetheart 11 years after high school ended! I am a self professed shoe fanatic with a closet full of shoes and only two feet. Planning a wedding has been my fun project since he surprised me with a proposal in Paris. We are spending our last few months preparing for our big day by wrapping up all the small things, buying a house and best of all preparing to live together for the first time.

I would be lying if I said Mr Butterscotch and my first 5 months of wedded bliss has been smooth sailing. Sure overall it has been wonderful, but we never lived together before the wedding so we’re finding out tons of new things about each other… including a few new pet peeves. For example, even though the dishwasher is right there, Mr Butterscotch will just put his dirty dishes on top of the dishwasher rather than in the dishwasher. He is also learning that basketball two nights a week is about my limit.
I recently found a list called 10 Steps to Being A Better Husband by Craig Playstead. (You can follow the link to read the complete examples.) These don’t all apply to Mr Butterscotch, and but some of the ideas were good.
1. Take an interest in something your wife is really passionate about.
2. Put the kids to bed.
3. Learn to apologize.
4. Thank her for putting up with you.
5. Clean up after yourself.
6. Make time for just the two of you.
7. Groom yourself.
8. Get away from the family.
9. Deal with your side of the family.
10. Don’t lose your dating manners.
What else would you add to the list for grooms to be?
