Wifely Superpower
As a wife I am so incredibly grateful for a gift I have at my disposal to use simply by being a wife. It crystallised for me last night and I wanted to share with you ladies a perspective on a unique tool that we have that no one else does. Everyone says the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and while this may seem trivial the impact it has is really something.
My husband had the worst day at work yesterday. He was left feeling depleted, frustrated, and totally over it. I knew he was having a tough day, so I made a point of ensuring he had a truely delicious meal for dinner, and the impact it had on him was nothing short of miraculous. He was happy, appreciative and felt all the love, support and appreciation that was put into the meal. It literally turned his night around and the weight of the day melted away.
I say this is a unique gift as when someone is dealing with a mountain a problems that's getting them down, there's often very little an individual can do to directly help them. Words don't help and obviously you can't go and just take on the issues yourself and fix it all for them, but this is a very practical and simple act that does actually help and make a difference. It's like a unique superpower wives have to help make everything okay and create that soft place to land.
I can often feel powerless when my husband is inundated with problems to solve, but this alone does so much!
