I think that his says it all.
Quote From: jettav When was the last time you told your wives that you love them and when was the last time you took your wife out on a date, when was the last time you told your wife that you appreciate her and when was the last time you told her to sit down and relax and not to worry about the dishes, laundry, whatever? when was the last time you got up to change your babies diaper or to take care of a sick baby? when was the last time you asked your wife if there is anything you can do for her? When was the last time, you told your wife to take a break and go take a shower and you would read the bed time story and tuck your child into bed? when was the last time you encouraged your wife to go out with a friend and enjoy her evening while you spend qualtiy time with your child? When was the last time that you went out and brought dinner home for the family to give your wife a break from the kitchen? Yes, you might work a paying job and you may deserve to come home and relax and be waited on by your wife, and yes you may deserve to get to bed at a decent hour and get a good night sleep and yes, you may deserve a night out with the guys and to enjoy your time away from work, and yes, you may deserve that brand new tv, video game whatever it might be but what about your wife? Is she worth all that as well, does she deserve a break, time out to herself or out with a friend, does she deserve to be waited on once in a while, does she deserve maybe that new outfit that she has been wanting, does she deserve a good night sleep? My point here is that husabnd and wives are to love one another and with love which comes with appreciation and respect and if spouses honestly and truly loves one another then they would be more then willing to give a hand now and then. for one to manipulate and to degrade the other is just plain wrong and a shame and how many HAPPY COUPLES (those who have these qualities as well as so much more) do you see getting divorced? The divorce rate is out rageous and I wonder why? Could it be that one or both partners is so self centered in the relationship that everything is about them and only them and could it be the lack of respect and appreciation for the other, that one feels more like a slave or a sex object instead of a wife?(husband) Could it be that the needs of one is not being met becasue the other is too concerned about themselves and would much rather please himself then the other or maybe it could be becasue of the rotten attitudes of the other( I am so much better then you becasue I do this and I do that and I bring home the pay check, so what if your tired, I don't have time to listen to you or to help you out at this moment?) Any way, whatever, love, respect and encourage one another and be help mates instead of enemies and competitors, you would be surprised about how happy and fullfilling your marriage really can be. And yes my husband is a worker and an encourager, he does all those things that I mentioned plus more, yes there are times when he aggravates me some but there are also times when I aggravate him, we may have our off moments but I know for a fact that my husband loves and adores me and he isn't ashamed to be the kind and considereate husband that he is and becaue of the loving relationship that we have, we will be married for many more years casue we are a team. I grew up watching my grandmother wait on my grandfather hand and foot. I didn't think a whole lot of it at the time, until I got married. After being married to someone who expected the same treatment that my grandfather received i decided that is not how I wanted to be. I have since gotten remarried to a man who respects me, appreciates all that I do at home throughout the day, encourages me to spend time with my friends and offers to give me a break now and again. Marriage is a 50/50 deal, the give and take has to be equal or someone is not going to be happy.
