A peek inside
Last night I was working out with a friend. We were on the treadmills for about half an hour when I realized how she was describing her husband of five years.
In a time of astronomical amounts of superficial standards, infidelity and divorce, I was refreshed, relieved…and, I’ll admit, a little taken aback actually by her words.
She described him as being just “an amazing person,” one who, in her mind, would be the “ideal” for any woman looking for a husband. A kind, thoughtful man with dignity and a sure sense of responsibility …and, perhaps her favorite thing of all–the fact that he’s not only a “family man,” but a “husband man” as well. And in being a “husband man,” he wants what is best for his stay-at-home-mom-wife and knows the importance of her having her own identity and individuality.
He knows that at the end of the day, she’s not just “Mom,” who adores him and their three kids, but “Jane,” who also likes adult conversation and has dreams of going back to school as well.
Basically, they’re a team…and not just giving it fifty/fifty, but hundred/hundred. I think that’s something we can all hope for…eventually
