“Treat Me Like a Princess!”
Yesterday, the whole fam loaded into the swagger wagon and headed due north toward Sacramento to celebrate my Dad’s 60th birthday. On the way, I needed to drop off a $5,000 print job at a client’s office in Los Angeles, and I was stressed!
- We were running an hour late.
- I was dressed in shorts, a t-shirt, and flip-flops (not my usual business attire).
- We hit major traffic due to an accident.
After dropping off the boxes to the client, I took a deep breath, but I was still feeling the remnants of the stress. I was checking email on my phone as Laura drove, and I was in no mood to talk.
Laura would ask a question, and I would give a one word answer. The kids would make noise during a business call, and I would get frustrated. Laura got stuck in the carpool lane behind a slow-poke, and I was a bit critical.
Finally, she had enough.
“Will you stop this!?! Quit being so uptight and stressed! I’m ready for you to start treating me like a princess!”
In our 16 years of marriage, I’ve never heard her say this outloud. In fact, I started laughing because it sounded so funny coming out of her mouth. I loved it though. It was so revealing of how she truly wants to be treated. Believe me…my wife is not high-maintenance at all. She’s the most easy-going woman you’ll find. That’s why the statement was so beautiful. That’s what she truly wants to be treated like.
If your woman was honest, she’d tell you that she wants to be treated like a princess.
To me being treated like a princess is to really be listened to. To be valued and trusted. I like to feel important. Think back to when you're in a new relationship, you hold doors open, send flowers for no reason, or even call just to say hi. I don't know if maybe I'm just a simple girl but, that's princess treatment
At that particular situation…, the Princess asked the Prince an 'open' question and of course, she was not expecting a syllable or one word answer, instead, ….. Furthermore, the Princess, I believe, felt not respected because the Prince could talk a bit critically with his business associate.
Congratulation to both of you! after 16 years of marriage, the Prince & the Princess are remained the status of the Prince-Princess relationship! — It's BEAUTIFUL!
