As opposed to showing high regard in that instance, husband walks in the door, wife stops what she's doing, says, welcome home.
And ideally this is something that flows out of, you know, an already, you know, I come over to you because I love you and I want to show that affection, but there's days and moments where we don't actually feel it.
And even when we don't feel it, we still get the joy and blessing and duty of showing our affection, you know, to our husband, to our spouse.
