Jessica was so moved by her husband’s selfless question that she decided to write about it her blog, Love Play and Wine.
In her blog post, Jessica tries to expel the myth that there aren’t any good men left out there.
She writes, “He is not a ‘unicorn’, men like these exist. The kind that wash the dishes after you cook, who do the yard work because he knows you hate it, who work 60+ hour work weeks and still comes home and plays with his kids and gives his wife a kiss and asks what can I do to help.”
But that’s not all that Jessica’s husband does for the family–and Jessica has taken notice.
She continues to list the ways in which her husband acts so selflessly in her post:
“Who gets up some nights to change the babies diaper while I get ready for a night feeding, who gives the kids baths and puts them down for bed, who spends his weekends with his family, who cracks a cold one once the kids are down and plays farkle and rummy with his wife.”
By recognizing these traits in her husband she is also able to recognize why she loves him so much.
And from what she writes, it sounds like her husband is able to recognize all the positive things that she brings into the relationship as well.
She continues her post by saying, “I’m so glad I married this man and that he also acknowledges my hard work at home with two kids, nursing, cooking and cleaning. We take care of each other its 50/50 and we are raising our boys to be men, just like their father.”
And it’s also clear that she wants other women to know that they shouldn’t have to settle for a man who doesn’t do enough.
She writes, “I see so many women cry and complain that their partner doesn’t help with the kids, bills, housework, give them any attention etc and my heart breaks when I hear ‘oh thats men or I just deal with it and suffer.’ Ladies that isnt a man, make him do better or find better! If you got a good one that treats you like a Queen then treat him like the King he is.”
