Email of the Day: I Will Move the World for My Woman

Written by Dr. Laura | 11/20/23 9:15 AM

I know that as a man and the head of my household, it’s my responsibility to provide for and support my family. My wife and I have decided it would be best for our children for her to stay home and raise them. While I know being the sole source of income will not be easy, I’m ready to put my own wants aside for the benefit of my family and be an example to my boys on what it means to be a husband, father and a man.

 

People often say they can’t do this for financial reasons, but in most circumstances, that’s just not true. They won’t do it because of wants. Two cell phones, streaming TV fees, gym memberships, fast food, two newer model cars and two-thousand-square-foot houses are WANTS, not NEEDS. If you learn to focus on what’s important and make the sacrifice, it can be done.

I’m nervous about this change, but I am my kids’ dad. To all the wives out there – I am the man I am because my wife is the woman she is. She makes me feel like a man because she treats me like one, loving and supporting me emotionally and physically. Because of this, I will move the world for that woman.
