My wife is smokin' hott (like Jon Acuff, author of
stuffchristianslike.net, has said, as a Christian who is a dude who married up, you have to spell hott with 2 t's, it emphasizes the hotness your wife possesses). And since my wife possesses an incredible amount of hotness, she is a two t wife, hands down. But my wife, her name is Sarah, is not just a super hotty, she is also really smartt. And not smart like I am going to only type in binary code because it's the purest form of communication smart, but smartt like we are on a single income and I am going to make sure we don't go into debt smartt.
After we had the boy (Coop) and now the kid (Micah) Sarah's heart was to be at home with our children, our crazy crazy crazy children. I love the fact that we are able to let Sarah stay home while I continue to puff my chest out and be the bread winner for our family. I am also incredibly thankful that our church pays me enough to be on one income. The thing I am most grateful for though is how my wife has put on her green accountant visor, taken out her ten key and figured out how to keep us afloat until Sarah starts getting paid for being an awesome mom (If anyone has heard of any mom sponsorships let us know, we aren't opposed to tattooing logos or wearing the same corporate polo shirt everyday).
In a time of life that can only be described as nutzo bonkers, Sarah has managed to help us keep the wheels on the cart. Telling me when I am allowed to spend and when I have to tighten up. Telling me when it can be a Starbucks day and when home brewed is the drip of the day (ironically enough it's a Starbucks day when she is in the mood for caramel deliciousness), she is responsible for our financial responsibility.
I married someone who balances me perfectly. I am not the best at managing money, but she has taken the job on and because of her we are going to make it. She picks up my slack when I drop the ball, what slack and a ball have in common I am not sure, what I am trying to say is she helps me. We are in this together and with my ability to open the pickle jar and her ability to do everything else we make a pretty good team.
How does your spouse balance you? Don't have a spouse, thats cool, what ways do you need to be balanced?
