A Wife
New Definition of an old definiton8 total reviews
Comment from Judy Couch
This is a very good definition of the way it used to be as opposed to the way it is today. Today there seems to be more co-operation in marriage and less of one person being in charge all the time.

Thank you so much. It is a new world and a two income world is pretty much reality. I agree more cooperaton Less one dominate.
Comment from Nika2016
How much can one person give to others without losing herself ? That is the question. I can give no more. Therefore..single again...still raising kids..not mine.
Your piece displays important questions.

Yes, Wife has new definitions. I have so been where you are at. Life does get better but it is really hard on the climb up.

I liked your comparison of your marriage and that of your mother. You're right. Every marriage is different. I will be married sixty years in August. I hope you do well in the contest.

thank you for an insightful review. Life is what we make it.
Comment from Polllly
Really very thoughtful, and rings true-to-life. (I wish you'd written, "...the best person he can be," instead of "they," just because I think it's jarring. But I know I'm in the minority these days!) I like how proud you are of your mom.

Polly, Thank you for telling me you liked it. I will look at changing that one thing. I think you might be right.

This is a nice assessment of what so many wives feel but haven't the skill that you have to express it. You write well, punctuate well, spell well, etc. Hence, your writing flows. Nice job! Kitty/roseworker

Thank you so . The punctuation is getting way better after being on this site. I so appreciate your words.
Comment from BeasPeas
Being a wife in generations past was a different ballgame, I think. Women sacrificed and stood by their man. Your entry is well written and focuses on what was important to women, then. I wonder if it is the same nowadays. Enjoyable and interesting. Marilyn

Thank you, Where do we go from here? that is the question. So interesting.

This is a highly entertaining read. The structure draws the reader into the arguments presented. Moving from what you want to what your parents had is very powerful. The juxtaposition of single sentence and longer paragraphs helps the reader to absorb this easy presented and to come to some conclusions. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Thank you so much. We are all such interesting people. Life is not perfect but I am sure blessed to have had the life I have had.
Comment from William Ross
written well, the meaning of wife and mother, I don't believe there will ever be a true meaning of either as times in the past, men and women both don't know their place in society anymore, we screwed that up for generations to come.

We have. We don't have definite jobs anymore and that can be confusing. We just have to learn to negotiate with the person we choose to live with and make it right for us and our children.
