Wife Appreciation Day is observed annually on the third Sunday in September.
Since wives do so many things to make their husbands and homes happy, this is a day for men to let their wives know just how much they appreciate both the little and the big things they do all year long.
Some traditional ways to observe Wife Appreciation Day are with a gift of flowers, perfume, jewelry or clothing. A day at a spa, tickets to a show and dinner at a nice restaurant are also excellent ways to show appreciation. A foot massage and cooking breakfast or dinner at home can also say, “Thank you for all the things you do every day. I appreciate them.”
While the history of Wife Appreciation Day is somewhat obscure, it seems event honored the women who, while they are married, do not have children.
Wife Appreciation Day makes up for Mother’s Day when there are no children in the marriage.
