I'm thankful for the wonderful relationship I have with my wife, but I can see it's a 2-way street and I think most people don't understand that.
She does a lot of the things guys pray for in a wife -- she'll bring me drinks and snacks when I'm sitting playing video games (including making a sammich -- no lie!). She raises our son with me and wants to impart positive values including her Christian background. I come home from work and the house is spotless and dinner is on the table waiting for me.
But for lack of a better term, it isn't free. I bring home the bacon, but I'm also the tall person to grab something she needs, the muscle to move something heavy, the handyman to fix something that's broken, the accountant, and I'm heavily involved with raising our son too.
It's a team effort, and everyone ends up better off for it. Both people are there by choice, and even with a promise like a marriage it's also a choice to continue to be there every day.
