Dear Dr. Laura:
My wife is an independent woman who prides herself on meeting all challenges. Knowing her parents wouldn't be able to afford college for her, she worked all through high school so she could go. As a linguist, she has traveled all over the world, proud of her ability to navigate the ins and outs of living and communicating in foreign language countries. But through all her adventures, she never forgot that her ultimate goal was to marry and raise a family.
She and I have been married for 19 years now, and I often think back to how appreciative she was early in our marriage for the long, backbreaking work I did to support our young family. I worked in construction outdoors, regardless of season or weather conditions. She fed me, bundled me up and sent me out to be the man I had promised her I would be. She worked hard to keep a warm home and raise our boys.
She now teaches in a school nearby. Throughout the school year, she implores her students (all girls) to put themselves on pedestals. "Set the bar high" she tells them. "You'll be amazed at the heights real men can reach to earn your attention." Because of her, I know our boys will be fine, honorable men. And our honeymoon still hasn't ended. She deserves me to be my very best so I will continue to work to deserve her.
