It was meant to point out that we each do have our roles---as well as highlight the responsibility we hold to give one another grace for our short comings.

It seems to me that for either of you ...I disagree. It seems to me that for either of you to think of it it as "his" money denies the obligation he has to as his family to care for you. It is not a mercy that he allows you to eat "his" food or live in "his" home. It is an obligation that he made before God when he married you. It is not a mercy that you take care of the children. You are both fulfilling your roles as unto the Lord. (Sorry to pipe in with a critique-- I just think that line of thinking could turn allow for an unhealthy marriage balance. I think as helpers, we must encourage and hold our husbands to account to be walking with the Lord, not puffing them up in an unbiblical way.) It is indeed good to be thankful and appreciative of his work and to express that.

I know that I have a lot more "free" time than my husband does.<br /><br />I still would rather do what I do than what HE does, lol!

You really have negotiated your chores, and done it with love. What a witness you are to the power of peace in the home!<br /><br />So nice to meet you today!<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553871403635498898.post-27179168335818906872013-08-06T17:49:59.102-05:002013-08-06T17:49:59.102-05:00I like the way you looked at this from a different...I like the way you looked at this from a different perspective than most people would and emphasized our need to be grateful for our husbands as providers and not complain about the little things. <br /><br />I think your post also subtly shows that a family's income is actually "earned" by both partners. The stay-at-home mom cooks, cleans, decorates, bargain shops, sews, and cares for her children--all things that would cost a great deal of her husband's income if she were not doing them. She "earns" by saving costs.<br /><br /><br /><br />Gail @ http://biblelovenotes.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17462629145629813283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553871403635498898.post-64426892001683388422013-08-06T09:59:26.605-05:002013-08-06T09:59:26.605-05:00I have spent most of my life working ourside the h...I have spent most of my life working ourside the home. Now that I have decided to stay home and take care of things, I also feel like I have a good deal! I love being here and picking up after my hard working husband gives me pleasure! I hope other stay at home wives read this and appreciate all that their husbands do for them. It is nice to know my husband appreciates me also...Life is good and God is great!<br />Christy Virgilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09341862679163700066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553871403635498898.post-38116743146711569472013-08-06T07:35:47.905-05:002013-08-06T07:35:47.905-05:00I am so aware of this, too.

He asked me if I wanted to go out to work everyday and I honestly answered that I did not. I feel so responsible for doing my job better than ever now and not complaining because I am a stay at home wife. We do not need more money than we have but we do need one of us to be at home to keep the house and do the chores and cook the food. How I would get that done if I was out at a job everyday I do not know. I am grateful for being in my empty nest home everyday.momma-lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975411711120382015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553871403635498898.post-91902059804178047382013-08-05T18:34:59.925-05:002013-08-05T18:34:59.925-05:00Great job!
