Diligence in Supporting

Original Entry: I Support Him.


            Before I got married, I knew I wanted to marry someone I knew I could help, serve, love, and support, and I had an idea of the kind of man that would be (of course I did not know who).       The man who is my husband, I support him, his life, his heart, his characteristics, everything I love about him.  I support him by cooking for him, cleaning for him, just simply supporting his welfare.  He is the man I chose to marry, and I married him to love him more by supporting him.
            A tip on supporting our husbands I have been thinking about lately that helps me is about supporting him financially, and it doesn’t mean how it might sound, giving him money!  There is a way a wife can support financially without having a job and it is simply to be frugal with spending and knowing his saving and financial goals.  The tip on helping financially has to do with when you shop.  Of course I don’t know what your husband makes an hour.  Consider what he makes, and if he’s on annual salary, do an estimate for each hour.  When you shop, as you are considering what he makes, ask yourself about what you buy… (for example, if he makes $12 an hour, and there is a package of walnuts or a new shirt for yourself that is $12) “Is this worth my husband being away from me for an hour?” 
            Men generally do not like being away from their wives and family for work, so when you shop, put this question into practice.  It should help you realize your husband’s significance and work and effort he goes through to help his family.  

 Entry now: I support my husband "financially" currently I am doing this thing where I have written down how much we spend on groceries, each week.  I keep the receipts in an envelope then I add them up around Saturday at the end of the week and keep a list of all the figures.  I am going to be trying to be more diligent looking for more less expensive foods.  We have about 4 large grocery stores in the area, so the receipts when I am through adding them up, I put them in another envelope, and I will look through and see which foods I can shop for cheaper at which store.
