The reasons that I want to be a better wife are not necessarily because I feel I am a bad wife. I simply feel that my husband is so good at it and he does it so effortlessly that I want to improve. I am posting today because yesterday before I left for school at about 4:30 am I found a note he wrote to me. He is putting me through school right now while I finish my last year of RN school and I feel that I owe him so much, but the note made me realize that he feels that he owes me something too. You see for the last 2 years while I worked full time and went to school part time and believe me that was a struggle. You have to study and have a high GPA to get accepted into the nursing program! Well while I toiled he refused to continue with school. Instead he partied and relaxed, and at times even made it hard for me to do well in school by having parties and get togethers at my house. This made it hard for me because I worked during the week full time and would usually study on the weekends and with music and people in your home it makes it hard to concentrate(I don’t think he did it maliciously, I think he was just having a normal life of a person in his twenties who works during the week and wants to relax on the weekend). Well, I think he realizes now that he should have been working on his pre-requisites or doing something more constructive because the note said something to the effect that he was proud of my effort and realizes that I am doing it for us, and that he is sure I will do awesome because I am smart and that he wished me luck on my final! It was beautiful! So my reasons for wanting to be a better wife remain: I want to be a better wife because I have a great husband who loves me, supports me, encourages me, respects me and I just want to come close to what a great spouse he is!

My husband is very ill today. He has food poisoning and I have been here nursing him back to health. I hate seeing him this way. He is always so happy, and cheerful. Today he is having such awful abdominal cramps that he is just sleeping quietly all day, except for when he is interupted by the calling to puke or poop again. the constant running to the bathroom has depleted his strength. This is what it is all about..In sickness and in health….....
I have been walking every evening, eating better and drinking a lot of water. I mentioned to my husband that it sucks that every time I want to lose weight we are never on the same sheet of music which makes it harder. All he said was “yeah”..... Well the very next time I was getting ready to go walking, I was stretching and I noticed he was also getting ready. He went walking with me. THIS is why I want to be a better wife. He listens to what I say and always makes an effort. He is being a better husband, I’m not sure what I’m being?
We have been married for seven years and he has been nothing but perfect! I would like make an effort to be better towards him.
