Answered Conundrum Next Conundrum
How can I let my wife know how much I appreciate her support?
The last two years have been rough for me at work (lost my job at age 50). My wife has been an angel, helped me in every way. What are some ways to show appreciation? Obviously we don't have much money.

There are so many ways you can show your appreciation and love. And they don't have to cost much money.
Be the one who cooks dinner or grills occasionally so that she doesn't have to do it.
Tell her how pretty she looks! Or how good the meal was! And help with the dishes or vacuuming or washing or folding clothes -- anything to help her with what have been "her" chores.
Rent a movie, make some popcorn, and enjoy smooching on the couch!!!
Tell her specifically and often that you do appreciate all she's done as your angel and how she has kept your spirits up.
Watch sales and get her some nice cologne that doesn't cost much but smells good!
Read the newspaper and find the FREE local events. There are usually plenty of them on a regular basis. Then the two of you can go and enjoy the fairs, craft shows, presentations, charity events, or whatever and have your "dates" without spending money.

I think the best way to show your wife how much you really appreciate her is to find some time to be alone together. Then, look her in the eyes, hold her hands and tell her what you felt. How much you love her, and tell her you are very lucky and blessed to have her in your life. Tell her that you may never said so much for the past two years but you noticed and felt her support and love and that you appreciate everything she has done to you.
I know that men are not so open and have a little difficulty showing or saying what they felt so I am sure your wife would really appreciate it if you open up with her and tell her how you feel. It makes them feel that they are a part of your life. Sometimes women felt left out when their husband suddenly becomes silent. It is difficult for us to really understand and accept that it is the nature of men to be silent sometimes especially if they are dealing with some problems. So, I guess she would be more than happy if you say how you feel right on her face, she will feel you are connecting with her.
Then, show her how you feel by surprising her with a breakfast in bed. You can also do some household chores, I am sure your wife will be very happy. If you have a garden with flowers, then you can pick the best flowers that you can see and give it to her.
