be a better wife

I haven’t had a fight with my husband in weeks, does that mean I’m done???????

Hes’ happier, I’m happier… I think this all boils down to give and receive. We focus too much one what we want so much we lose sight of what the person we would once do anything for, really wants. Then maybe it just becomes two selfish bickering people.

A little extra effort, omit the nagging, and learn to ignore the little things, and I think it may be the key..

It’s true, I realized this today. I looked in my Bible today and I found 1 Peter 3, and Proverbs.. 31? I think?

Anyway, I was reading it for some guidance on how to be a better wife. My husband and I fight more than we usually do, we used to fight.. never. After three years I’ve gotten lazy.. my husbands used to his submissive housewife, which is everything I am and want to be.

But I’m starting to slip, I realize this now. I yell at him for stupid things like after he works and comes home I yell at him for not taking out the trash, or forgetting to change the litter box. When all day really I have been so busy with the baby in my head- I haven’t done much for him. At all.

And he’s a great dad, and a great husband. I guess it’s time for me to start over and go back from the start.. and even though it’s 6:30 in the morning and I would love to catch some mommy z’s. . . I think for right now I’m just going to start by at least cleaning up the kitchen, at least. It’s not a big thing, but it’s a start…

I’d like to go back to my 1940’s housewife routine, I used to live by the book Fascinating Womanhood. It’s how I was raised, it’s everything I believe in, it’s what made me .. me. It’s just who I am, and I really don’t care anymore how much my life offends other women. I used to get that a lot. I guess that’s partially what made me slip.

I’ll have to find some other ways to make my husband happier.. then I can be happier again too.
