if being married offends you, if choosing to have kids offends you, if choosing to be there for them instead of other alternatives to child care truly offends you, then sorry I guess you'll have to stay offended. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Moms will keep being moms if they choose to, and wives will keep being wives if they also choose to.

I've been thinking a bit about what it means to be a homemaker lately. And I think about things my mom did when I was a kid. She decorated the house for different seasons and occasions. She baked cookies and banana bread and cake for our birthdays. She made beef stew and barbecued chicken. When we were little we would set up leprechaun traps for St. Patrick's day and she would hide Easter eggs and make us Valentine's baskets. Homemakers are memory makers. They are the ones who build your sense of belonging, of safety, of love and comfort. I started thinking about this when I was reading A Little Life. Though their life is complicated, Jude becomes a homemaker. I don't think it matters if you work or if you don't have kids-- homemakers are people who make homes. My mom was a single parent and she worked full time and attended night classes when she was pursuing a degree. And she created a home for her children.

She fixes her home, instead of her man.

She gives thanks, instead of orders.

She uses her voice for kindness, instead of evil.

She makes a warm dinner, instead of trouble.

She puts up flowers, instead of her guard.

She opens her heart, instead of an act.

“Young ladies,

You may never have considered this, but you can make a career out of being a housewife.

Find a good man and then love him, have his children, love and raise them, meal plan, shop & cook, keep a clean, tidy, pretty home, be hospitable.

It's a great life.”

As a homemaker, I have a lot of cleaning and cooking and laundry to do. But homemaking also allows you to have some spare time, particularly as your kids get older. So I read regularly to sharpen my mind, feel alive, and stay interesting to my husband. If the only thing you have to talk about when your husband is home is what your friends have gossiped about, you're not going to be very interesting.

Ways a wife can contribute to a happy, Christ-centered marriage by nurturing love, respect, and joyful service to her husband:

1. Pray together and individually

• Pray for your husband’s needs, spiritual growth, and guidance. Pray together regularly, inviting God into every aspect of your marriage.

2. Communicate with Love and Respect

• Share openly and kindly, and listen with empathy. Respect his thoughts and opinions, honoring his role as a leader in the home.

3. Prepare His Lunch or Favorite Meals

• Pack a nutritious lunch for him to take to work or surprise him with his favorite dinner. This simple act shows care and appreciation.

4. Maintain a Clean and Peaceful Home

• Create a relaxing environment by keeping the home tidy and welcoming. Organize spaces that matter to him, like his favorite chair or workspace.

5. Encourage and Uplift Him

• Speak words of encouragement, recognize his strengths, and affirm his leadership. Avoid criticism, and let your words be a source of strength and comfort.

6. Show Physical Affection and Care

• Express love through small gestures, a gentle touch, or quality time. Physical closeness helps strengthen your emotional connection.

7. Practice Patience and Forgiveness

• Be quick to forgive mistakes and approach disagreements with patience and grace. Reflect Christ’s love by prioritizing unity over proving a point.

8. Welcome Him Home Warmly

• Greet him warmly, showing excitement to see him. This simple gesture helps set a peaceful and positive tone for his evening.

9. Support His Work and Hobbies

10. Align with His Vision and Decisions

• Seek to understand and support his vision for the family, discussing decisions in a way that respects his role as head of the household.

11. Run Errands or Handle Tasks He Dislikes

12. Cultivate a Cheerful Heart and Gratitude

• Approach marriage with joy and gratitude for your partnership. Let thankfulness be evident in your actions and attitude.

13. Be Intentional in Physical Affection

• Give hugs, a kiss on the cheek, or a back rub after a long day to make him feel valued and appreciated. Regular lovemaking is also recommended!

14. Model Christ’s Love and Kindness

• Be a daily example of Christ’s love through kindness, patience, and compassion. Build him up with gentle words and actions.

15. Stay Rooted in God’s Word Together

21. Cook Meals that Support His Health

• Prepare healthy, balanced meals that align with his dietary needs or preferences, showing care for his well-being.

22. Offer to Pray for His Specific Needs

• Ask if there’s anything specific you can pray for and take time each day to lift those needs up.

23. Be Available for Quality Time

• Dedicate time to him free from distractions. Whether it’s watching a show, taking a walk, or just listening, be present and engaged.

By serving, supporting, and loving your husband in these ways, you’ll contribute to a marriage that reflects Christ’s love and builds a joyful, nurturing partnership. 🌷

Noooooo don't indoctrinate your own children into your family's system of beliefs and values you have to let us indoctrinate them into the state's system of beliefs and values that includes rejecting their family and parents' instruction you are literally evil for wanting to raise your own children in your own home without letting us undermine you nooooo

Quick drawing of Princess Aurora in honor of Disney's Sleeping Beauty's 65 anniversary! Such a gorgeous film! I based this on her voice actress, Mary Costa.

I know if I tell my very traditional husband about traditionalism and all that, he'll be bemused... "me ? But I'm just a husband."

His "just a husband" is so much more... He takes his responsibilities seriously, providing, protecting etc. But for him, it's not a big deal... it's what being a husband is.

Thinking about having a baby with the person you love is AMAZING what do you mean the love and intimacy of two separate people combined to make an entirely new human that is insane I want 10
