69 years this summer. Married right out of high school and never looked back. It’s been an incredible run, praise God! Nobody trains my hubby. He is very hard headed-helps out in the house as he appreciates help out side. Very frustrating when things have to be done his way, but I can sit back and let him do it his way even if his way is harder and takes longer. Years ago, he commented on the way I was holding the dust pan. It soon became his job to sweep the floor and hold the dust pan in his more efficient way. Ditto with our dishwasher. Our first home had a dishwasher which in those days was quite noisy. He commented that he could do dishes in 10 minutes and not have to listen to that washer for 45 min. When the children left the nest and the dishwasher wore out, guess who started doing dishes and still does them to this day.

LOL, you are too funny! I think that’s why my husband doesn’t comment on my messy house. He would get handed the broom or vacuum.

Don’t get me wrong, I love it when my house is clean. And I do get a sense of satisfaction after cleaning. But not enough to want to do it again :-) I’d rather go out and pull weeds and get my hands in the dirt. I feel more connected to God and nature outside, inside – not so much.
