10/10 Wifestyles
Quote From: jettavWives are meant to love and to honor their husbands just as husbands are to love and to honor their wives. Husband, if you want respect then you must also respect your wives. I am a stay at home mom with a wonderful husband. We work together as a team because we love and appreciate each other. Yes, my hubby worksa paying job and I am home with the children, but parenting is a 24/7 job and there is absolutely no way the wife/mother can do all this on her own. Knowing that she has a husband who loves and respects her and has no problem reaching out and giving a hand does wonders for the wifes self esteem, it certainly boosts her ego and desire to be the best wife that she possibly can be. My husband is a hard worker and gets his breaks and outings but he also knows that he helped create our children and has the responsibiltiy to make sure that he does his part in taking care of his family. My children love their daddy and loves it when he walks in the door, They don't cry and fuss when mommy leaves all by herself cause they know their daddy loves then enough to play and spend time with them. They have a great bonding relatoinship and I believe it is becasue of the attitude that my husband has. We are helpmates and we are there for each other. Some husbands need to get off theri high horses and love and honor their wives and step up to the plate in helping with the home and kids. You might actually enjoy the bonding and positive attention that you get from your wife and even your children. Of course wives need not to hound their husbands and tell him often that she loves him, don't expect him to come straight home and to start working, let him have some time to relax and to get settled in. Marriage is about two people and both of them have an obligation to love, respect and honor the other. It isn't about who is suppose to do what and who gets the privelege of being boss, it is about being helpmates and being there for each other. It is my wifestyle to love and cherish my husband to encourage and build him up and in return I get the same, our marriage is not perfect but we have a strong foundation and that foundation is our Lord and our love for one another. I agree. Husbands should appreciate what we do.
I try to do all the housework before my husband comes home, that way we can spend time together and with our children doing fun things. Not mopping the floors. If I dont' get it all done my husband is happy to help. My husband loves his little daughter, and loves to watch and play with her. Which he often does while I quickly clean up after dinner. We tried having me play with her, and him clean up, but i found if i enjoy time without someone clinging to my legs more than i would enjoy not loading the dishwasher. When that is done we can all go on a walk or play games. Every day he tells me how much he loves me, and appreciates everything I do for him, and what a good mother I am to my daughter. He also makes sure I get out of the house by myself on a regualr basis, and we go on weekly dates. Things will get more difficult when we have more children, but I know he loves and appreciates me, and he knows I love him and appreciate all the work he does so I can stay home with our daughter. I know I can count on him and he knows he can count on me. Doing the housework makes everything run smoother for everyone. I am less stressed than if I were working, and he is less stressed. I am truly thankful that I can stay home, and I don't appreciate people who tell me I am less of a person for wanting to be astay at home wife and mother.
