Each year on the third Sunday in September, Wife Appreciation Day gives spouses the opportunity to show how much they cherish their better half.

Even though marriage allows couples to work as a team, it's easy to overlook how much a wife contributes and sacrifices for the happiness of others.

While the day can be celebrated by gifting your wife with a special present or taking them to an elegant dinner, kind words are a great way to kick off the celebration.
