Understand your role. Embrace who you should be. Be happy about it.
Being a wife isn't 50/50.
You give half. I'll give half.
It is giving 100%....... 24/7.
You give your all.
All the time.
Does your home have a peaceful existence? Domestic order?
or?
Turmoil? Trouble in too many places?
Do you spend a lot of your time putting out of fires?
Are the sprinkles all gone out of your days?

If we perfect these few, it will take us all until the cows come home anyway.
