Recently I've struggled. Me and my wife are a young couple and family (we have a one and a half year old son named Graham), which means we are paying our dues. We aren't the most financially (or mentally) stable right now. God has blessed us no doubt, and family and friends have kept us going as well, but it's been tough. There have been days, as I'm sure most of you have gone through, where it seems like you are constantly butting your head against the wall. I've always desired to financially provide for my family completely, and I'm coming to the terms that right now I can't do all of it. Sure, I take care of most of it, but my wife has to work too.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against her working, nor do I have chauvinistic thinking in regards to women providing over men. That's not my point. She has always desired to be able to stay home while our children are young, but right now that just ins't possible.
My point is I always desired to be able to do that. I wanted to do that for her and my son. But she has to work, and work hard! She drives so much, doing makeup and hair, cleaning houses, and working at her Dad's business. ALL on top of taking care of our son most of the time if not all.
She is a superwoman. This is what it means to have a partner/equal. And I'm so grateful.
This in no ways intends to talk down to those who have given to me, or to my jobs that God has blessed me with. It's all about me understanding my shortcomings. And part of understanding, is writing them.
So yes, I took PJ pictures with them because she asked. Because she does so much for us, how could I say no?
