I have so much to say on this... it could be a separate post hahahahaha
but I'n not sure how much will end up on this comment ;) and I don't really want to write a post on it either hahahaha because I think that topics like this are difficult to discuss.
I think - its best to say just my opinion - and my experience - and why I value it. hehehe
I have a college degree - but I wanted to be a stay at home mom, and raise our children. My husband also valued this. We decided as a couple to pursue this lifestyle. For years, I worked from our home in various creative projects - some very lucrative for us, some not. hehehe
Last year - I decided to take an opportunity to use my skills in a "real" job. I started work making 1/3 of what my husband earned. By the end of the year, I had risen in the company and was making twice what my husband earned.
How do you think this made my husband feel?
Honored. Proud. Blessed.
I wasn't in competition with him. I was an asset to our family, and he told me that now the world could see what he has always seen in me.
Husbands would be wise to realize that a wife is half of a partnership in this life. A strong wife is a benefit. Would he rather be yoked to a strong partner or a weak partner?
A man who can make a strong woman happy, content, and joyful may seem weak - but he is one of the strongest creatures on the planet. (and when the tables were turned, and I was earning more than my husband, he was happy to call me his "sugarmama" LOLOL)
hmmmm actually - I do have a post that I need to write for next week's drop in the ocean theme. I'll use this idea :)
Wow
That's a wonderful story, and funny too
I think you should make a post out of this. And I also have to make sure some folks from around here reads it
Relationships are meant to he complimentary and not competitive.
Thanks for sharing
Blessings to you and your family
Yes...it will be my drop in the ocean post for next Monday hehehe
