When my husband comes home is a feast for me. For my husband is arrive to HIS place in the world where he is Lord and Master… and that’s how I have to receive and honor him.
One day my mother told me to get a job so I could have “my own money” instead of begging my husband for it.
But I’ve never in my life have to beg…
I am his partner, his family, of course I get to share his money. We have a budget for things that I handle, like food and other house expenses, and I also have a personal budget to do whatever I want with it. Self care is important and my husband will never go one month without making sure everything is covered for me. If I need something extra and it’s important, I can let him know and he will do what he can to take are of it.
I love I can trust him to be my provider. He also trusts me with his heart, his life, that’s what marriage is about.
It saddens me that no matter how much I try to explain, love and trust will never be enough for her, and it’s the same for many other people.
Regardless, I will always choose love first, I will always choose this life first.
