My point is you can't mandate gratitude, and you generally can't buy it. However, if you look at creating spouse day as a testament to how you feel about your own spouses, then you guys are clearly trying to show some serious respect.</p> Chris, I have nothing but respect for you guys trying to honor the people who support y’all as entrepreneurs.

I recognize that the first point on the website is about ‘buying a present’ but the tweeting and blogging about your spouse is the real intent of the day. Maybe we should tweak the language next year but an excuse to spend time and social capital promoting the value and love of your spouse is really our intention.

Cheers,

Chris
