I have seen another benefit of contentment, one that is profound in its consequences: when I am content with what I have, my husband’s calling as provider is almost perfectly fulfilled.
The fact that I do not live my days in want means that he is doing a good job of taking care of me. My needs are provided; therefore in his role as the wage-earner, the bringer home of bacon, he’s at the top of his game because he has a happy wife.
It's a sobering thought that my attitude may be the most important measure of this very important aspect of my husband’s success.
Ah, this is so true! What a lovely reminder, and well-timed, for me. Thank you.
