softness -> RE: good wife spin off (4/21/2007 5:15:38 AM)

i grew up watching my mother create that household for my father, they are about to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary and niether I nor my siblings have ever known them to fight with eachother. The home i grew up in was warm, stable and secure, my parents create a balance of their roles which was very traditional. Just because my mother did all of those thngs it didn't stop her being an intelligent, tough, dedicated career woman as well, she was not down trodden by my father and he was not a tyrant to be feared. Due to the way i have been brought up, that image of domestic bliss, and those instructions of the good wife, are simply how i expect and desire to live with my life partner, i would be doing that even if i was vanilla. The real message i get from that list is the importance of never assuming you - your thought sneeds worries - are of more importance than His, It may be so, he may not have had a shocker of a day at work, he might be just fine and dandy, but you do not know that when he walks through the door. This is something that really strikes with me, when i am an owned girl, i will seek to be the calm, the peace, the constant devotion in His life. i will strive to be the one person, that lives for Him and for His happiness. I really get that vibe from the 1950s house, she is all about making him happy and welcome, how wonderful is her job!!
