Come Up Smelling of Roses

Come Up Smelling of Roses
When it's that special someone's birthday, you give flowers. When it's your anniversary, you give flowers. Oh, and let's not forget that when you make a mistake, you give flowers. All of these occasions are fitting for flowers, but they need not be the only time to give flowers. There is never a time that a woman should be without flowers.

When it’s that special someone’s birthday, you give flowers. When it’s your anniversary, you give flowers. Oh, and let’s not forget that when you make a mistake, you give flowers. All of these occasions are fitting for flowers, but they need not be the only time to give flowers. There is never a time that a woman should be without flowers.

“Flowers… are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

A true gentleman gives flowers at all times. No occasion is needed to light up the day of another. Regardless of what men might think, the value of flowers exceeds many other gifts. This simple act of flower giving provides a true gentleman the ability to exceed and surpass the expectations of his significant other. The most important thing for a man in a relationship is to make sure that she feels loved  (Ephesians 5:25), and this is one of many simple ways to achieve this loved feeling.

One more personal note regarding sending God’s beautiful creation of flowers: If you can, deliver them in person (if possible). I realize this might be difficult or inconvenient, but the effort to make a personal delivery happen makes it mean that much more. The time taken to show your love will definitely not go unrewarded. Additionally, it actually ends up being more affordable, so you can purchase more flowers, more often!

When is the last time you gave/received flowers? It might be time to make that personal delivery!

“I’d rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.”
-Emma Goldman

Jon Lechliter was born in Kansas, but raised in Florida, California, and Singapore because his parents are faith-supported missionaries. He graduated from The King’s College in New York City and is currently working full-time at Alliance Bernstein. Jon has decided to write for Lifestyle + Charity because he believes the lifestyle of a true gentleman has been lost in our current culture. He hopes that one day, true gentlemen will no longer be so hard to find.
