This week has been quite a ride. First, we rolled out a brand new site on our own server (which made us feel all grown up). Then we partnered with some of our favorite sites on the web to offer one of the most amazing prize packages ever (make sure to go here to enter to win an all-expenses paid trip for you and your husband).
As I began writing today’s post, it dawned on me that so many of you are brand new to the site and may not know how we began. First off, welcome. Secondly, I’m so glad you’re here. And thirdly, I’d love you to know the origin of this incredibly unique community.
Three years ago, I founded this Club as a counter to the onslaught of negativity surrounding marriage and wives as a whole. With smash television hits like Desperate Housewives and the Real Housewives of…You Name It filling up the airwaves, wives were being turned into caricatures and marriage was beginning to look like a death sentence. So I set out to change that perception and hoped to bring a million wives along for the ride
So far, more than 100,000 women have proclaimed, “I am a happy wife!” and I’m still on the search for more. Not Stepford. Not Desperate. Just those of us madly in love with our hubbies. By the way, if that describes you, please make sure to join the club!
What I love most about this community is being surrounded by like-minded women. A friend of mine said it best, “Your club gives women permission to be happy. To not have to apologize for a great husband or a wonderful marriage.”
Here at the Happy Wives Club, we free you from having to “dumb it down” for the sake of those with negative opinions about life or marriage. If women can sit around with their friends husband bashing and talking about all the ways marriage can go wrong, we should be able to do the same (on the opposite end of the spectrum). So in this Club, we talk about our wonderful husbands and all the ways a marriage can go right.
So for those of you who are new to the Club, and for those who have been here a while, we welcome you. We celebrate your marriage, we honor your family, and we are grateful for you.
