Taking Each Day At Its Worth

By Carol Ann

Usually, it is the women who move from one thing to the next. They are the ones concerned with everything going on that day and planning for the next. The worries result from past and future occurrences, but it does not exist in the present.

Every woman aspires to being a better wife and mother, but the problem is, it doesn't get put on the list of things to do. And that list seems never ending as it is. And, since being a better wife is not on the list, it fails to get done.

Sometimes, I know that my husband will approach me very lovingly and touch me or kiss me in a way that I know he would like some of my attention. Often times, I am just too busy to give it to him. Isn't that sad? The most important person in my life, the man that I plan to be with until I die, and I can't spare some time to be affectionate, to show him the love that he needs, he deserves.

In my opinion, women need to begin to live in the present and stop trying to plan everything out. To spontaneous, you can't plan it, and we all say we wish our husbands were more spontaneous, but only if it fits into our plans. That defeats the whole idea of spontaneity.

As women, we really need to learn to live in the moment. The list of things to do is never ending and therefore can't take precedence over all else, especially over our husbands. Is it no wonder that so many couples need to seek out marriage counseling? We really need to prioritize and our husbands should be on the very top of our list. - 15431
