I don't know if this will help... since i don't know anything :-) http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2006/05/03/study_us_mothers_deserve_134121_in_salary/?p1=MEWell_Pos3 So number _...
i agree with that article, but i'm not a mom, and have no plans to be in the near future (please see my journal "Preggers") haha well, you're right, service is defniatly important work, i auxila...
I agree with Monster. Now I'm not married, but I have been pioneering for 6 years, so hopefully what I say holds value. Also, I'm a man, which is merely being stated for the sake of letting you know this is a male's perspective.
I understand that you feel bad that you spend HIS money to buy HIM a gift. But gifts aren't about cost or money. Or they shouldn't be. They should be about your sentiments. Your love for him. It doesn't matter where the money came from, ultimately, it comes from your heart, and that's truly what matters.
See, Everything we give to Jehovah...he already has. Except for our time and our love. Nothing else matters, because anything else we try to give to Jehovah, he already has....or could make. We are built in his likeness.
And the best thing for any marriage, obviously, is to have Jehovah as an integral part of your life. So, keep up the great service time, and keep putting Jehovah first, and you'll have nothing but success. Keep a simple eye, and pray to Jehovah to continue joyfully in the weekly pattern you've developed.
That is my opinion.
todd, that was awesome advice!!! *hugs*
and going along with that....there are plenty of things you can do that come from your heart that doesnt require money....and i think hubby will be touched all the more so :)
thanks, GG.
