For us, we simply abide by God's plan for a family and occasionally help each other outside of our areas of expertise (i.e. my husband will cook a meal or I will work overtime at my home phone job). I find it terribly immature and sad for couples to spend their married lives arguing about who does what. I don't allow that in my children, so I certainly wouldn't want to allow it in my own life. Have you ever noticed, though, that it's not the men that do the arguing?

My view on things is this, whether you are a wife or a husband, either person can do it. I can't see what harm is done. Here is a little poem. I don't know who wrote it, but it sums up a lot of things.<BR/><BR/>Once upon a time, there were four people: Their names were Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody. Whenever there was an important job to be done, Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. When Nobody did it, Everybody got angry because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought that Somebody would do it, but Nobody realised that Nobody would do it. So consequently Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done in the first place.S E Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353593578893195586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483426192416204879.post-84085215206175542422009-03-17T16:44:00.000-04:002009-03-17T16:44:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.S E Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353593578893195586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483426192416204879.post-5410375311320578192009-03-17T12:26:00.000-04:002009-03-17T12:26:00.000-04:00Thank you, AnneMarie, for understanding the sentim...Thank you, AnneMarie, for understanding the sentiment of what I was saying.

They burn my eyes terribly, even little spring onions! Putting then in the fridge really does help...anyway, the point of your post is absolutely beautiful and I really appreciate it. I have had people say to me, why don't you make him do such and such and I feel the same way--he does so much for me, can't I do something for him? Isn't it the same with our Lord? He does so very much for me...what can I do, then, for Him? :)xoFreshWhippedStitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167367139426849446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483426192416204879.post-65687456372426640832009-03-17T02:10:00.000-04:002009-03-17T02:10:00.000-04:00Jennifer,If it's only the smell of the onions, the...Jennifer,<BR/><BR/>If it's only the smell of the onions, then it's not a problem at all. There are silver soaps which you can buy which last a lifetime and they get rid of the smell immediately. There are so many little gadgets out there to solve all of these minor problems.<BR/><BR/>Love always comes with actions. I really don't believe you can love someone without doing anything, it's a natural reaction.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for agreement Beth:-)S E Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353593578893195586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483426192416204879.post-68926525395504900362009-03-16T21:23:00.000-04:002009-03-16T21:23:00.000-04:00Thanks for the opinions, gals!

Basically, I just get too lazy to add the onion. My husband would be happy to do it and does on occasion, but this is something that I feel I can do for him and it means a lot to him. My husband does a LOT for me that I could do for myself, so yes, it does go both ways. Onions is not the point, really, the point is to love our husbands with action. I'm not going to address the husbands since this is a woman's blog, but it should go without saying that it goes both ways.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05629737271425395168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483426192416204879.post-33620929947074879532009-03-16T19:38:00.000-04:002009-03-16T19:38:00.000-04:00Acts of self-sacrifice are really what good marria...Acts of self-sacrifice are really what good marriages are made of!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05616061412062835634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483426192416204879.post-30502178096422964862009-03-16T15:32:00.000-04:002009-03-16T15:32:00.000-04:00I do enjoy your posts.

Would he mind if he sliced his own onions? Another thought, do you keep your onions in the frig? I find they are less potent that way. I have a real crying problem when I handle onions and this helps tremendously. <BR/>In the lunch packing department I must shamefacedly say that my husband packed both his and my lunch back when we were both working (before we had children). I found that to be very sweet of him. <BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483426192416204879.post-68887733532325094032009-03-16T13:54:00.000-04:002009-03-16T13:54:00.000-04:00Jennifer,Why don't you buy an onion slicer?

It's true Love in Action. I would hate my husband making me doing something which makes me ill, when he could do it himself and it's not paralysed.S E Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353593578893195586noreply@blogger.com
