Wives do you greet your husbands at the door when they come home from work??? Did you used to when you first got married and then stopped when you had kids?? or in time you just stopped???
I'm just curious how many wives do this. I greet my hubby at the door everyday when he comes home from work. I think it's a nice way to tell him he's important enough for me to say HI to him when he enters our home.

Yes, I greet him at the door EVERY TIME. And I walk him to the door when he is leaving.

Most of the time I don't because his schedule fluctuates (he has an hour drive home and traffic interferes) and I am typically fixing dinner or finishing dinner so we can eat shortly after he gets home (which he very much appreciates). He normally comes in the kitchen and greets me with a kiss after he puts down his laptop bag, lunch bag, etc. I do see him off with a kiss and a hug at the front door in the morning though and wave to him until he pulls away from the house and he waves back.

I'm not married but I do live with my boyfriend. I get home from work before he does. I don't greet him at the door, but I make him dinner pretty much every single night and get a lot of chores around the house done before he gets home...I think that's my way of telling him he's important. He doesn't ask me to do this but I like to, to make him feel like he's a priority in my life. And otherwise I feel like a waste when I come home from work, haha.

Usually 95% of the time I do. It's not the proverbial "greet him at the door", because he gets home from work before I do. But the first thing we do is smooch and say "Hi baby!". A hug usually accompanies this as well. Sometimes I like to switch it up and really lay one on him and then we get back to yardwork....makes him think of what's coming later.
I agree with you, after a long day, you both need to re-connect and say "I missed you today." That's part of keeping the relationship alive. Same thing with poilteness....couples seem to forget "please & thank you" after they've been married a while. I always thank him for doing the things he does (mow the lawn, take out the trash) and he will thank me for laundry and dishes and supper as well. It's nice to hear appreciation for things that are "your job" anyway.
Good point and question!

i do. me and my husband have been married for 5 years and been together for 8. and til this very day, even in the rocky times of our relationship, around the time that i expect him to be coming thru the door..... I put everything else on hold to be there. to welcome him home with a kiss. its my little way of letting him know thats he's the most important thing in my life and i miss him so much when he's away.
and every morning i walk him to the door when he leaves for work. give him a big hug and a kiss and let him know that i love him....... even when i'm angry with him

I always say hello to my husband when he comes home because I am glad to see him. But I'm the primary breadwinner, so I'm usually the one walking in the door after work and he and the kids are the ones greeting me. (Except on M & W when he is teaching a night class -- then he drops the kids off at my office before going to work and we say our hellos there.)

Yes, I greet my husband everyday he comes home from work. Monday through Friday I have hot breakfast or dinner waiting on him. And on the weekends if the kids are gone I wait on him in lingerie.

Yes I do, I also work but I get home before he does, I am on annual leave right now, so I play housewife, make him lunch, go out to his work sometimes for lunch. It is fun. He greets me when I come home also, as I work alternating Saturdays. We are more in love now than ever, our Anniversary is Labor Day.
I have to confess that the dogs usually beat me to the door LOL
