She Didn't Have a Chance...
11/18/2013

Recently I was made aware of how very important it is to be my husband's girlfriend. My husband works in an office with mostly female employees. One woman in particular began flirting with my husband and paid special attention to him. Recently, she asked him if she could talk to him while they walked out to the parking lot after work. They were at my husband's car and he turned around to put his laptop in the backseat. When he turned back, she kissed him. He told me that it was all very tempting. She was a very pretty woman and had given him a lot of compliments and attention. But he pushed her back from him and told her that he wasn't interested and to please leave him alone or he would talk to her supervisor. My husband has a lot of moral strength and character - but that's not all that kept him from falling for this home wrecker. He's got a wife at home who treats him like her lover.

We've been married 13 years and we have two small children who keep me busy all day. But I get up with him every morning and make him a hot breakfast. I pack his lunch and often add homemade cookies and love notes. And every night, we get the kids to bed at 7:30pm and then have time alone together. Our sex life is fantastic and we're more active than ever. I don't nag at him, demean him or treat him like an idiot. I treat him like my lover and my man. That bimbo at work who was also married didn't stand a chance against a woman who knows how to care for her man. I wasn't raised with this knowledge nor did I have a good example of how to behave as a wife - but I've been listening to you and reading your books since I was a teenager.

Thank you for the inspiration and for the example you are to young wives.
