My name is Fawn and I “love my life as K. Weaver’s wife” (exactly what is written on my car license plate frame). My husband, Keith, and I were married in 2003 and like fine wine our relationship just gets better with time. I’ve loved being a wife from the moment I said “I do.”
I’m not a stay-at-home wife. I’m a former business manager-turned hotel general manager-turned real estate investor, USA Today® and New York Times® bestselling author.
I’ve always worked long hours, as does Keith, but we continue to keep the fire lit in our marriage. I absolutely love being married and began wondering how many other wives there are like me.
I am a Proud Wife. I am a Happy Wife. But if I actually believed the television shows, magazine articles or books out at the moment, I’d think the term “Happy Wife” is an oxymoron and the enjoyment I’ve experienced throughout these years together is an anomaly.
Decades of the media bombarding us with visions of unhappy wives (Stepford Wives, Desperate Housewives, The Real Housewives of [fill in your town]) and daunting divorce statistics made me think about the rarity of my marriage and the joy I feel as a wife.
Then it hit me! I can’t be the only one. There must be others out there who view marriage and spending time with their husband as one of the absolute greatest blessings in their lives.

With this thought in mind, I set out on a mission. I believe there are millions of wives all over the world just like me and I’m determined to find them and give a voice to this seemingly rare woman conveniently missing from all forms of media and entertainment.
Have ‘Happy Wives’ somehow resorted to hiding? Not wanting to seem too enthused about marriage because some of our friends and family members have had or are having challenges in their relationships? Whatever the reason, I long, I desire, I am challenged to find other women who love being married just as much as me and shine a bright light on the positive side of this beautiful union created to last a lifetime.
So, here I go. On a journey to prove love and marriage still go hand-in-hand, the ‘Happy Wife’ really does exist and you and I aren’t the only ones a part of this club. And if you haven’t yet joined the Club, what are you waiting for? Join here and together let’s change the perception of marriage around the world.
