When my first child was born my husband gave me a beautiful bracelet, while I really wasn’t wishing for anything more than chocolate!
I didn’t consider it payment for the labor, but rather a token to commemorate such a happy event. In my eyes this bracelet represents my daughter, and I am rarely without it – as I am rarely without my wedding ring. Not for the bling factor, but because I want my family with me symbolically even when we are apart.
On my wedding day I gave my husband a watch. Should that be considered payment for marrying me?
