:eek: :eek: that is sooooooooo wrong.

What part is sooooooo wrong ?????????

When we got married, my wife had two semesters of college left to graduate. We lived apart during that time and she finished her two semesters in one. Immediately after graduation, she went to work in her chosen profession and my job was status quo, until we bought a business five months later. From the first day of owning that business, my bride worked as a school teacher, housewife and bookkeeper until our children were born. Then her role became that of wife, home maker, mother, and bookkeeper and all around "assistant as needed to the business", not necessarily in that order.

It all came to fruition thirty years later when we retired, after watching our children grow to become happy, productive citizens.

The point: Without the unflagging and unselfish effort by my bride of forty-four years, we would not have retired at an early age and the possibility existed, our chiildren might have taken a different direction. Without her patience and understanding, seeking the same goals and supporting every effort whether she agreed or not, she was the silent partner, always in the background and ready to help when asked.
Without her gentle hand, things would have been a whole lot harder than they were as she was my 100% support during those difficult times requiring making tough business and personal decisions and later, as our lives became more involved in other areas such as teenage children, community, etc..

These days, we have been enjoying life as we built it, together and the days when things were not always 100% and not filled with happiness and comfort, our recollections are of those times include the good and bad, easy and tough, all having been shared and dealt with, with her by my side.

For me to even begin to think of trading jobs with my wife for one day as we traveled through those tough years every married couple endure, changing places with her is not something I am worthy of considering. The recollection of those times are filled with knowing she was capable of each situation and today, we smile about those times, and enjoy knowing we did it together.

Frankly, I'm not strong enough to bear children and undergo the dailly regimine women must maintain in order to keep things on an even keel, which include remaining calm whether under duress or listening to a cranky husband when his world didn't go right during the business day.

Quite honestly, there is serious doubt most members of the male sex are strong enough to handle it either.

So, the question is, which part is sooooooooooo wrong ??????

If there was anything to this it would show God does have a sence of humor...
 
You can be sure that if there WERE a god his parents would be shaking him violently about now for getting kicked out of creation-school!

Thanks for proving my point...

Nice to see some folks still remember that marriage is about "We" not "Me".
