Welcome back. I'm just going to jump right into this months thought. As a Christian woman, I believe that it is important for me to "train" to be a great wife. That might sound a lot lamer than I actually intended it to, but basically, I am preparing myself to fully stand behind my husband. It might be extremely unfeminist of me to not want to be

Nicole, I enjoy your thoughts but I think you took my entry the wrong way. I am not by any means sacrificing myself NOW for a husdband that I don't even have. I'm not saying that women should "forget college" because they don't need it. I also think that women CAN be the breadwinner and should be if their husband is going to support that and not feel un-needed. I'm reading this book now and it's amazing to the inner lives of men and what they're really feeling. It's definitely preparing me for relationships on all levels and it's Christianity based.

And yes, I do not think that anyone should downplay his or her desires, blessings, talents, or gifts from God, etc. I just feel that two people with "set in stone" goals are not going to be able to make a relationship work. Look at hollywood and the number of divorces that come when one partner suddenly becomes more famous. Or how about families that are forced to move for one persons career, uprooting the others. I, for one, am saying that if it comes down to it, I am going to support my husband. Yes, I can make career and life goals on my own, but I am not going to base my life affirmation on attaining them. Because for me, a healthy marriage and sense of faith are more important.
