On her anniversary, her husband takes her to dinner at McDonald's and she explains why she feels like a queen
When you live a love relationship in a couple, it feels like you are the protagonists in a perfect fairytale!
It is a fairytale, where the most beautiful things happen only to you, a prince and a princess in a fairytale that transforms reality into a magical world, complete with your own magical space.
Of course, that is if you still believe in fairies. Let's face it, when you are married, there are few things that make you really happy, and the couple that is the protagonist of this humorous true story is the perfect witness.
Actually, it does not take much to nurture and show affection for one's love partner, such as offering a delicious fast food dinner!

In a post on her Facebook profile, blogger Nikki Pennington published her honest, down-to-earth thoughts on what it means to be in a love relationship for 15 years and above all what it really means to celebrate one's wedding anniversary with gestures that are not strident, but genuine and honest.
Like for example, paying for a low-cost dinner at Mc Donald's because you cannot afford anything else at the moment for economic reasons. But perhaps these are precisely the gestures that take on a whole new value in the hard realities of everyday life.
In regards to this, here's what Nikki Pennington's post says on her Facebook Page Grief to Hope.
Girl, you deserve better than that.
What do you mean he didn’t bring you flowers on the first date.
You deserve someone who treats you like a queen.
I think you should dump him and find someone who buys you something for your anniversary, someone who knows your worth.
I’ve been with my husband for fifteen years and for our one year anniversary he took me to McDonald’s and bought me something from the dollar menu because it’s all we could afford.
He definitely didn’t bring me flowers for our first date or second or even third.
He hasn’t taken me on any lavish trips or bought me expensive gifts for our Anniversary and the truth is these days we barely remember the day much less if it’s our anniversary.
You see those aren’t ways a man treats you like a queen.
It’s the way he fills up the gas tank so you don’t have to make an extra stop.
It’s the way he takes out the trash so that’s one less thing on your to-do list.
It’s the way he lets you sleep in or go to bed early and he takes over bedtime duties with the kids
It’s going to be the way he holds your hand in the delivery room when your babies are born.
It’s going to be the way he looks at you like you are the only one on this earth when you walk down the aisle and with a tear in his eye he tells you that his heart is yours for eternity.
It’s going to be the way he takes care of you when you are sick.
It’s going to be the way he holds those babies for the first time, the way he rocks them to sleep and the way he makes them giggle like nobody else can.
It’s going to be a lot of really small ways that are free but priceless, small ways that become everything and it will be in those ways a man treats you like a queen.
You’ll realize diamonds might be a girl's best friend but a woman knows that her husband is her best friend and diamonds could never compare to him.
You’ll realize being treated like a queen by your husband looks different than what the world told you it should, it looks even better and it doesn’t require diamonds or flowers or gifts.
Truer words were never spoken!
