    Free Love: 3 Coupons Your Wife Will Go Wild For

    Celebrating the holidays with your spouse doesn't have to mean breaking the bank!Celebrating the holidays with your spouse doesn't have to mean breaking the bank!It's time for the holidays. If you didn't realize what time of year it was, the colder weather, Christmas songs, and super sales should have tipped you off by now. Even though it's getting close to Christmas, a lot of Americans are still feeling the recession pinch. Finances are tight in many of our households, and spending like there is no tomorrow may not be an option.

    So, how can you give an amazing gift even when you don't have any money to spend? One idea that you can use is giving love coupons. You remember getting them or seeing them at the mall with text like, "free massage," "free kiss" or "free hug."

    Here are three love coupons your wife will go wild for:

    1.) No-Dishes Coupon
    Believe me, she'll love not having to do dishes more than getting a hug, a kiss or a massage. She'll be able to use this whenever the sink is piling up and she doesn't want to get dish pan hands. It's up to her whether she wants to spring this one on you during the 4th quarter, or even when you've been asleep. The "No Dishes" coupon just might be her favorite depending on what happens in your household.

    2.) One-Evening-With-No-Kids Coupon
    Sometimes your wife just needs a break. She needs an environment with no screaming, no yelling, no playing, and no one saying, "Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy!" This coupon gives her the chance just for this. And a rejuvenated wife can make for a happy husband!

    This one's a wild card of sorts. It gives your wife the ability to just rollout. It's Thursday night, the kids are off the hook, dinner and dishes are everywhere, and she needs a breather. That's when she breaks this coupon out on you. This means that you have it all under control, and she can make a getaway.
