Husband and wife
Sometimes it's hard to take a step back and let our husbands lead...I am a believer in having the man in our lives be the head of the household and let him be our guide and strength as a family. Sometimes it is hard when you feel as if you can make a better decision for something, or see something completely different than your husband does. That happens on occasion with my husband and I, but I take a step back to try and not come across as being bossy etc.. I try to incorporate my ideas to our life to try and give a different insight to give a possible better result to something we are doing. I have found though that sometimes it is better just to let him lead and do what he feels necessary for us. There are things I can quietly do to ensure this or that, but sometimes it is not worth the disagreement. Now, let me clarify because I do not want to sound like a wife that cannot have a mind or thought. My husband wants my opinions and suggestions, but understand that he is the brains of the family. He is intelligent and smart and 9 times out of 10 his ways of doing things works very well. Thus, why I usually let him just lead on most projects. I am "in charge" of many things here around the homestead. I am in charge of the kids well being and nurturing needs, the food and baking, the home in general which would include the cleaning, laundry, hopefully homeschooling will be added to this list, etc...I do think about how I would have gone about what we have done so far on our homestead and I would have done things completely different. In my opinion we are doing thing right off the bat too fast. I feel other things needed accomplished first before we do the thing that we have done already. But again, that is just me. We are a partnership and I cherish that partnership. I know he incorporates my ideas and thoughts into our life, just as I incorporate his thoughts and ideas. I think during the time we've been married we have truly learned how to sacrifice for one another, we have learned how to listen to one another, and find that balance that comes with marriage and intertwining lives and personalities. At times I know I inadvertently make him feel bad. I am a pro at talking about things at the most inopportune time. I just have a habit of bringing something up if it pops into my head. I don't wait for the "right" time I guess. It is something I am working on because I hate when I make him feel less than, even if that is not my intention.
