My Beloved 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.

a huge responsibility that is, too….. it sounds as if you guys were a match made in heaven ♥
I agree! A match made in heaven and worked at on earth.
Sadly, I know of many others who worked at their marriage and had a different outcome. I am lucky and blessed, and the best way that I know to respond to both gifts is with gratitude and appreciation.

amen to that!
she is far more precious than diamonds and jewels…
Indeed she is! Her love can’t be bought at any price. Thank you for your kind comment!
Welcome!

What a wise answer, from obviously very loving and caring wife. 🙂 Russ, you are really lucky to have her (and can imagine it is vice versa). There is nothing more beautiful, than couple that has that deep connection with one another. Beautiful post.best- Kristi
Thank you, Kristi! I am indeed very lucky to have her!
