Let Her Come Home!

I keep meeting more men whose wives want to be in the home. Their wives feel called to be in the home. Their heart is at home. They want to be full time wife and mom. This is their dream. This is their passion.

Men, if this is your wife, I strongly implore you to let her come home -- AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Do whatever you must. Get a better paying job. Get a second job. Go back to school so you can get a better paying job. Move to another state, if you have to, to get a better paying job. Change careers, if you must. Lower your standard of living, if you must (cancel cable; sell the brand new truck; stop racking up debt with things you don't need; get rid of your cell phone; etc.). Are you gettin' my drift? Let your wife come home, dude!

If your wife's heart is at home, you don't know what a jewel you have. It's getting rarer and rarer these days. But what a jewel! That means her passion is to serve, full time, you and the kids. And that's a good thing. That's an awesome thing. I personally think that's the best way, although it appears that God places a special calling on some women to pursue careers outside of the home.

Dudes, your job as a husband is to empower your wife to pursue her passion, to live out her God-given calling. Her job is to do the same for you.

From the beginning I knew I wanted a wife who was called to be in the home. A woman whose passion was to be wife (first) and mother (second). And that's what God blessed me with. You may not have asked for that, but that's what you've got. Deal with it.

The issue is fear. Many of you guys are scared to bear the FULL financial burden for the family. Dude, you can do it. God will help you do what it takes. It's time to stop acting like a little boy and learn to be a man. You want to turn your wife on? You want your wife to act like your dream woman again? You want your wife's respect again? Let her come home, and support your family. After all, if you act like a child your wife will act like your mother. AND THAT AIN'T COOL!

I'm sick and tired of all these women who are more manly than their husbands. I'm tired of these women who are having to lead the way financially. They are having to lead the way spiritually. And then they are expected to still do the brunt of the cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing in the home.

Guys, since you apparently didn't have a real daddy to teach what manhood is about; I'll do it. When your wife wants to devote her life to supporting you, managing the home, and raising the kids, but you won't let her because you're so in love with her salary, or you're jealous of her being able to come home, or you don't trust her to do any work in the home, or you're afraid that you'll have to work harder -- YOU'RE A SISSY.

But don't worry, God is in the man-making business. We all tend to resort to our boyish ways. That's why every man needs a good woman to kick him in the pants. And if she's too timid, then you need a strong pastor who will stand up on Sundays with the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit and spit, scream, yell, and say whatever he has to in order to motivate the boys to MAN UP, LOVE YOUR WIVES, AND LEAD YOUR FAMILIES! God needs more men.

Can you tell I'm passioante about this? More than you know. Did I hurt your feelings? Good. Get over it. And LET HER COME HOME!!!!!

(It's a darn shame that I even have to write this stuff, because in so doing, I'm the one whose taking care of YOUR wife. I've got my own family, dude. Now go take care of yours.)
