I'm Not Crazy, I'm a Good Wife
04/01/2016


This past weekend, we had a few family members and friends come over to help us out as my wife and I get our house in order prior to our moving.  The guys had a long day working on landscaping and being outside on our feet all day.  When we were done, we came into the house exhausted, and flopped into chairs.  Not a minute later, my wife came out and sat in front of my chair with a bottle of lotion.  She took my socks off, and started to give me a foot massage.  My friends almost fell out of THEIR chairs in shock.  They thought she was crazy!

They started giving her a hard time, and before I could respond, she said "I'm doing this because I appreciate all the hard work my husband does for my family.  I'm not crazy - I'm a good wife!"  I nodded with a smile.  She's right, she knows it, and she's proud of it.  My wife respects me, as I do her.  I'm proud to say she's my girlfriend and I'm her man.

That moment made me realize how good we really have it.  My wife was just taking care of me and I would jump to do the same for her.  As loyal listeners to your show, we've made great strides in our relationship because of your guidance (including that in your books too).  Thanks for showing us what a real marriage should look like.  I know my friends and family are envious of our "secret" to happiness.
