Dear Mom {Why Your Conversations Are So Important}

On a radio interview yesterday, one of the listeners posed a question in the chat room I’d never been asked. She wanted to know where I saw this club 25 years from now. I must admit, that question initially threw me for a loop. That might explain my simple response.

My hope is in 25 years, the Happy Wives Club would have changed millions of conversations around the world. Giving women the confidence to unapologetically speak highly of their husbands and marriage, not worrying if it seems as though they are bragging or boasting, but recognizing that marriage needs a positive spokesperson among the deafening chorus of negativity. If our children are going to have any chance of enjoying this beautiful gift called marriage, we have to do our best to pass it down to them in a way that is untarnished.

When members of this club find ourselves in the middle of a group of women who are husband-bashing (sadly, the favorite pastime of so many) or speaking negatively about marriage, my greatest desire is we would be the ones to interrupt that conversation. That we would be the type of women who will push back on all the negative chatter. When it gets to a place where almost everything you hear about marriage is downbeat, it’s time for a group of women to counter that. And I believe we are just that group!

So thank you for helping us change the tone of marriage around the world. It will take a whole lot of people to course correct at this point, but I have no doubt we can do it. You + me + 999,998 more women changing the conversation worldwide. I began this journey searching for one million women just like me who love marriage and adore their husbands. Business women, housewives, entrepreneurs. Those who have given birth to every living creature and truly make the world go round.

We are a group of powerful women who just happen to also be in love. So let’s talk about that. Let’s live that out. If women are able to sit around and talk about how terrible marriage is -for hours on end- you and I have every right to speak about the flip side of that coin. We’re not bragging or boasting, we are simply sharing our positive marriage experience. And we should never ever feel the need to apologize for that.

Until tomorrow…make it a great day!

Why I Love My Husband (the never-ending list):

174. We are moving this weekend which can be extremely stressful. And I have 4 events over the 2 days we’re moving. That is tough. Keith has taken care of almost everything so I wouldn’t have to worry.

175. He sleeps…beautifully. Even when I’m on the computer in the middle of the night -just a few feet away- typing up a storm.

176. He loves me. Completely. Daily. Never assuming the love he gave yesterday will be enough to carry me through today.
