Wife Appreciation Day

Wife Appreciation Day is an annual celebration of gratitude to wives. Celebrated every third Sunday in September, this day is a great occasion to show our wives how much they mean to us.

History

There is no consensus regarding the beginning of this celebration. The most popular theory is that it first appeared in 2006. Since then, it has actively spread throughout America, attracting more and more people.

It is believed the reason for this holiday’s creation was the divorce of the famous musician Paul McCartney from his wife. It is interesting that such a high-profile event occurred three days after the celebration of Mother’s Day. What could have happened if before that they a holiday intended to strengthen families? Many people were shocked by their divorce and thus held a Wife Appreciation Day in the fall. On this day, you should thank your wife and show her your love. If Paul had paid more attention to his wife, perhaps the family would not have broken up.

This story is instructive. Love and appreciate your wives, and keep the family bond strong.

Spend the holiday together: go to the cinema, theater, or museum, or go on a trip for a few days. Let your wife rest today. Take an active part in cleaning and cooking.
