Last week I made the goal to cleave more to my husband by listening to him. I found that as I listened to him more, I was able to see and hear more about the needs of my husband. Another aspect was my husband started returning the favor in really listening to me when I spoke. I noticed that when I set a goal for how I could improve my role as a wife that it positively affected my marriage. When it comes to setting goals for your marriage, remember that it starts with you. It’s so important to focus on what you can do, instead of on what you wish your spouse would do.
This leads to my next topic, what kind of spouse do you want to be? We all have an ideal of the role we want to play as a spouse. For me, I love being the traditional wife and mother. I love cooking for my husband, keeping the house clean, and staying home with our children. I love how it makes me feel to take care of my husband so that he can focus on his business and know that the house is being taken care of. Pregnant, barefoot, and being in the kitchen is my favorite way of being.
Lately though, I feel that I am unable to fulfill that role because of my pregnancy. I am almost 30 weeks pregnant, and our first came just before 34, and the second at 32 weeks. We had a scare over Christmas, luckily a warm bath calmed my uterus. This caused my husband and I to decide to put me on modified bed rest. My husband has picked up the slack by putting the kids to bed alone and doing all the chores that involve a lot of moving and bending, which is practically all of them.
This leads me to my new goal for the new week, finding a new way to fulfill my role. My husband and I sat and talked about this and discussed ways that I can still fulfill my role. Seth talked about how he likes my cooking. So, my goal is to cook in bulk and freeze meals so as I get closer to my due date and have another bad day, he can pull out a freezer meal and have a homecooked meal made by his wife. This way I can feel like I am fulfilling my role by feeding my husband without having to actually make it in those hard times.
Do you feel that you are not fulfilling the role you want to? How can you change that?
Genuinely no matter if someone doesn’t be
aware of then its up to other visitors that they will assist, so here it occurs.
Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind me asking what
theme you’re using? (and don’t mind if I steal it? :P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate
any feedback) – it’s still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care
of yourself during the coronavirus scare!
I think my theme is custom. I am still trying to figure it out myself. You website looked really nice I thought.
