My wife was once asked in front of a group of 50 or 60 men, “What do you believe is your most important job as a wife? Some of the men looked at me to see if I knew what her answer would be. I just shrugged, as I had no idea.
She replied, “To protect his heart.”
She added, “It’s my most important job to never break his heart.”
I cherish that woman.

About russtowne
My wife and I have been married since 1979. We have 3 adult children and 4 young grandsons. I manage a wealth management firm I founded in 2003. My Beloved is a Special Education teacher for Kindergartners and First Graders. I'm a published author of 23 books in a variety of genres for grownups and children. In addition to my family, friends, investing, and writing, my passions include reading, watching classic movies, experiencing waves crashing on rocky shores, hiking in ancient redwood forests, and enjoying our small redwood grove and fern garden.
I just sat here in silence for a very long while as the power and depth of those words soaked into my heart. Dear Russ, please send my warmest greetings to your dear wife from me. It sobered and touched me deeply her one simple statement. What a beautiful soul. I am immeasurably blessed to know such good people like yourselves. Sharon
Such wisdom in those few words. You and your wife are lovely people. Please thank her for those wise words, and thank you so much for sharing them here. That is profound. Blessings, Gina
Lovely…
Sir, with a woman like that, it’s no wonder you’ve been married for 30 years! I have been with my significant other for almost ten years and I have never said anything half this lovely! 🙂
Thank you Shron, Gina, Cathy, and Bella! I am a lucky and eternally grateful man.
Russ
Wow!!!
Yeah. I was speechless as she said those words, and I’m speechless years later.
