Having my big strong man in charge gives me a tremendous sense of security. I have zero control over my life. And I've had to learn to trust that my husband and God will take care of me. That trust is a feeling of free fall, then of serenity. I can just serenely be. God … Continue reading Losing Control Gives Security

Great Start to the Break
C took me out to lunch today while A went on a playdate to a classmate's house. It's always nice to get out of the house just the two of us. We had invited L to go with us, but she had homework and things she wanted to do. So we lucked into a date. … Continue reading Great Start to the Break
As a Wife, It Is Your Responsibility to Sexually Satisfy Your Husband
As long as he isn't asking you to sin, you have a responsibility to keep your husband sexually fulfilled. He kills the bugs (or gently lets them outside). He pays the bills. He takes care of your needs. So take care of his. Most men need sex. Once married, he's only supposed to go to … Continue reading As a Wife, It Is Your Responsibility to Sexually Satisfy Your Husband
Nice Day
Today A had a birthday party to go to. We drove her 40 minutes there, and then C and I went out to lunch just the two of us. Our sweet exchange student L had chosen to stay home, so C and I got to go on a date. When we got home, C went … Continue reading Nice Day
I’m a Victorian Housewife
Trad wives are often compared to 50s housewives. That somewhat applies to me. I am very traditional. I wear dresses every day. As much as possible I wear jewelry to clean the house as well. I put my family first. I stayed home with my daughter before she started school. I am still at home … Continue reading I’m a Victorian Housewife
My Husband is Possessive and That’s a Good Thing
Men are wired to be territorial. It's part of masculinity. A strong, masculine man who is interested in you will naturally want to keep you for himself. My husband, for instance, doesn't like for me to wear short skirts or low cut dresses. Yes, he likes to look at me in those things, but he … Continue reading My Husband is Possessive and That’s a Good Thing
Thanksgiving
Our Thanksgiving has been wonderful. It was L's first Thanksgiving, and it was fun to share the day with her. C made an absolute feast for us, outdoing himself as always. Then, after we ate, C and A took naps while L and I painted. Now I'm reading a beautiful art book I got for … Continue reading Thanksgiving
Obedience, Moving
Obeying my husband is always necessary, and as usual, I know what he says is likely for my own good. I don't agree, but I'm being petulant, and he's probably right. I want to go off all my Bipolar medicine to help me lose weight and trigger hypomania (not mania). My husband insists that I … Continue reading Obedience, Moving
Wonderful Day With my Man
Today the girls had school but my husband didn't have work, so he and I spent the day together. We took a lovely two hour drive and went to a Mexican restaurant I love. We chatted nonstop for 6 hours. It was glorious! We talked a lot about the future and upcoming changes for the … Continue reading Wonderful Day With my Man
Dogs, Church, Park
I'm sad this evening because my husband determined that we are not in a position to foster a dog. He thinks I will try to keep every dog we bring home. We are renters and we move a lot, and he is concerned that we won't find a rental when we move again. I feel … Continue reading Dogs, Church, Park
