What Kind of Wife?

 

I was thinking about my marriage and the thought came to my mind “what kind of wife do I want to be?” I already know what kind of woman (girlfriend) I can be to my man but, what kind of WIFE do I want to be…

I received a call from my husband, he sounded a bit stressed. I was at work when he called and it was a pretty busy day so it wasn’t until after I spoke to him that I realized that he had called me quite a few times and sent a text before we actually spoke. But he needed to speak to me in order to be at ease. He needed my words to confirm that everything would be ok. That did something to me, it made me feel good that I was that person he looked to when he needed someone, the person he went to when he needed confirmation or a reason to smile during a hard or stressful time, the person who made him feel calm during the storm. At that moment I knew what kind of wife I wanted to be and a part of her was already in me.

Knowing my husband had a long day, I made sure that when he made it home I made it easier for him by making sure he had all his faves on hand so that his mind can be at peace and his soul at ease. I want our home to be his place of sanctuary like it has always been for me after a hectic day.

I could get into the details of who I want to be as a wife and what I want to represent but it’s something I want to keep close to my own heart and in my own mind. It’s something I will consistently work towards throughout my marriage. While doing so I will stand firm on my expectations of my husband, in order for us to work, we must both work towards the same goal and making each other happy needs to be a priority.

At the end of the day I need to focus on my part, I need to make sure I do my part in order to help keep the balance in our relationship.

And…It Is What It Is!
