You are certainly a great wife preparing 3 nice meal for your husband on purim.
Reading posts here and hearing from people irl, I realized that a lot of people don't have time on this hectic day to sit down for a proper breakfast and others don't have a meal until late afternoon (there was another thread about people haveng 1 or 2 meals). Breakfast seems to be a skipped meal or grab and go for the car on Purim.
Of course, everyone does what works for them. Everyone has a different love language ect. It was something I never heard or thought of before so I shared.

OP, thank you for sharing! Imamother is a huge and and diverse forum, and we don't usually get to hear what has touched and inspired other members, unless they actually tell us! How beautiful that there will be women out there who DO want to do this...and because of you x

I will not be wrapping a MM for my husband but I will try and make a nice breakfast Purim morning. Thanks for the inspiration.

I told my friend that women here were inspired by her to prepare a nice breakfast for their husbands ( wrapped or displayed on the table). She was very touched by it and she said that this gives her the Koach to face her first Purim alone with her children (oldest is a teen yougest under a year) without her husband.

Here is a woman who lost her husband and she isn't jealous of other wome, instead she shares her tips on how we can bring more shalom bayis into our own home. May this Purim bring a lot of simcha into our hearts and homes.

Lovely idea!

OP, if your friend would be interested in connecting with me, our youngest is turning 11. My husband was niftar shortly before Rosh Hashana in an accident, she can text or WhatsApp me 410-963-1362. I’m inspired by her!
