Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, today is September 15th...

Today is National Wife Appreciation Day. Yes, today is your chance to go all out in recognizing the incredible role your wife plays in your life. Whether it’s her support, her laughter, or simply putting up with your bad jokes, it’s a great day to show a little extra love and appreciation for your better half.

And in an unexpected twist, today is also National Cheese Toast Day. Now, while these two celebrations may seem wildly different, think about it for a second. A good wife and a good piece of cheese toast—they’re both comforting, reliable, and, honestly, they make life a whole lot better.

Just like cheese toast adds that warm, melty goodness to your day, your wife adds that irreplaceable warmth to your life too.

Now, for today’s quote, I found something that feels right for the occasion. It’s from none other than Mignon McLaughlin, who said:

"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person."

Isn’t that the truth? Much like the delicious simplicity of cheese toast, marriage can often be about finding joy in the little things over and over again. It’s about savoring the moments that don’t seem all that significant but end up being the ones that sustain you.

Whether it’s a shared laugh over breakfast, an unexpected act of kindness, or just being there through life’s ups and downs, it’s those small but meaningful gestures that help you fall in love all over again.

On Wife Appreciation Day, this quote serves as a reminder that love isn’t a one-time event. It’s something you have to nurture, just like you would keep making your favorite comfort foods—cheese toast included. You don’t just appreciate it once and move on. You come back to it, time and time again, savoring it anew each time.

And let’s not forget—appreciating your spouse doesn’t have to be a grand gesture. It could be as simple as making her a perfect slice of cheese toast this morning, right? A little love, a little butter, and just the right amount of melted cheese—sometimes it’s the simplest things that show the deepest appreciation.

Or in my case it will be an omlette with some salad and avocado on the side... because that is the way she likes it. So, today, remember to take a moment to appreciate your wife, the love of your life, who makes even the mundane moments feel extraordinary.

And while you’re at it, why not treat her (and yourself) to some delicious cheese toast? Or a cheese omlette with avocado... It’s a perfect way to celebrate both holidays in one go—comfort, love, and gratitude, all on a plate.

Thanks for joining me today on The Daily Quote. I hope McLaughlin’s words added a little extra meaning to your day, and maybe even inspired you to look at love—and cheese toast—a little differently. Until next time, I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off and don't forget to keep falling in love, keep appreciating, and I'll see you tomorrow for another Daily Quote.
