Re: Married Couples...and sacrifices...
Hmm, what if you plan on hiring a maid to do the laundry/ ironing/cleaning? And if he does all the cooking or you hire a chef?
Does that mean you dont do anything for your spouse? I think its way more than chores that show appreciation for your significant other.
Re: Married Couples...and sacrifices...
some people may see it as a sacrifice....but others may not. I don't see it as a sacrifice because i want to do it and i love doing it. But the only reason why i used that word is cuz for some it could be sacrifice and also there was no other word that i could think of to use in the title that would explain it in one word.
Re: Married Couples...and sacrifices...
Some like getting up and doing the work for their spouse and some just cannot. When I wasnt a mother, it wasnt a big deal to do all of my husband's work, except ironing, that he did himself. We both do not have breakfast, at least I donnot have it at home, I have it at office and he just doesnt do it at all. At weekend's I want to make him breakfast as I need something in the morning, sometimes he takes my offer to have a boilded egg or an fried egg with toasts sometimes not, once in a while I make parath's or frenchtoasts.
But after I became a mother and stayed at home, I didnt get to sleep at night,
so he would get up without wakening me and would leave home with disturbing or anything. Sacrifise goes BOTH WAYS!!
Re: Married Couples...and sacrifices...
I'm not married but I would think that if you are in love with your significant other then the things you do for him wouldnt be called "sacrifices"...you would just do it out of love and out of the goodness of your heart.....simply because you want to.
Re: Married Couples…and sacrifices…
yes love is not shown by the amount of work you do for some1 . some ppl are active by nature and some are lazy . some do things quickly , others don’t .
your mother is infact messing up things , by telling you not to make him dependant .
if you can do things easily and your sister does not , it’s urs and her nature .
it’s not the love of the husbands.
i believe love should always be unconditional .
Re: Married Couples...and sacrifices...
Uh i'm surprised nobody has mentioned this but what about the bigger things? Like moving to a different country for your husband (90% of the time that's the case ://) or putting something on hold (like education/a job/travelling/etc?) because of ur spouse? IMO these are the true sacrifices, not like getting food for him or ironing his clothes or something. You don't lose anything by ironing someone's shirt, but you DO lose something when, for example, you move; you're going to be changing jobs/schools, being taken far away from your friends/family etc...
