HOMEMAKING GOD'S WAY: YOUR HUSBAND

 Today as we continue our series on homemaking God's way, let's discuss how your husband fits in the mix of homemaking.

A dear friend of mine used to say, "The woman of the home sets the tone of the home." There us much truth to that statement! She sets the tone because she is the homemaker, the maker and keeper of her home. If you have a job outside of the home, whether full time or part time, you are a homemaker. If you work from home, you are a homemaker. If you do not currently do any other work, you are homemaker. If you have a home, you are a homemaker.

I have the beautiful privilege and blessing of being a full time homemaker. Other than our church ministry and my online ministries, homemaking is solely what I do. But it wasn't always that way. The first year of my marriage and the first six months of motherhood, I worked outside my home. This meant my husband and I had to work very closely as a team in order for our home to function properly. We got off work roughly the same time so we came home and cooked dinner together, then cleaned the house together, dividing up the chores. We worked hard and fast so that we could still sit down and enjoy the evening together before bed. It was hard, I'll be the first to admit it. But that is just the way it had to be. This is why I feel blessed to be a full time homemaker now.

Now, I am able to take care of things during the day, so when my husband comes home in the afternoon, everything is done and we have the night together. The only things that get done in the evening is cleaning up after dinner and everyone pitches in for that.
